Question

4. Rachel is a substitute teacher in a school district and earns $13.75/hour. On Tuesday, she substituted from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm, on Thursday she substituted from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm and on Friday she substituted from 10:00 am to 12:15 pm. Calculate her gross pay for the week.

Answer 1

Earnings per hour: $13.75

Tuesday = 8 am to 2 pm = 6 hours

Thursday= 8 am to 1 pm = 5 hours

Friday = 10:00 am to 12:15 pm = 2.15 hours

Add all the hours:

6+5+2.15 = 13.15 hours

Multiply by the amount she earns per hour:

hours x earnings per hour = 13.15 x 13.75= $180.81

Gross pay $180.81
