A day of a weekly time card is given. It is required to find the pay for the day given a wage of $12/hr.
To do this, calculate the number of hours worked for the day and multiply by the wage per hour.
It is given that the person worked in the morning from 08:15 to 12:15.
The difference gives the number of hours worked in the morning:
[tex]12:15-8:15=4\text{ hours}[/tex]
It is also given that the person worked in the afternoon from 13:00 to 17:30.
The difference gives the number of hours worked in the afternoon:
[tex]17:30-13:00=4\text{ hours }30\text{ mins.}=4.5\text{ hours}[/tex]
Hence, the total number of hours worked for the day is:
[tex]4+4.5=8.5\text{ hours}[/tex]
Multiply this by the wage earned per hour to get the pay for the day:
[tex]8.5\times12=102[/tex]
Hence, the pay for the day is $102.
Pay=$
