Greg and Verena both work for the Spelling Company. Greg earns $18.60 per hour as an assembler, and Verena earns $12.20 per hour as a technician. Last week Greg worked es031-1.jpg hours and Verena worked es031-2.jpg hours. What was their combined earnings for the week?
How many hours did each work last week?
To find their combined earnings for the week, we need to calculate the individual earnings of Greg and Verena, and then add them together.
Greg's earnings = hourly rate x number of hours worked = $18.60 x es031-1.jpg
Verena's earnings = hourly rate x number of hours worked = $12.20 x es031-2.jpg
Let's calculate their earnings:
Greg's earnings = $18.60 x es031-1.jpg = $Value1
Verena's earnings = $12.20 x es031-2.jpg = $Value2
Now, to find their combined earnings, we add Greg's and Verena's earnings:
Combined earnings = Greg's earnings + Verena's earnings = $Value1 + $Value2
By substituting the actual values into the equation, you can calculate the combined earnings for the week.
