To find Calvin Hines' total pay for the week, we need to calculate the total number of hours he worked and then multiply that by his hourly rate.
Calvin worked 7 hours each day from Monday to Friday. To find the total number of hours he worked, we need to sum these hours.
7 hours + 7 hours + 7 hours + 7 hours + 7 hours = 35 hours
Therefore, Calvin worked a total of 35 hours in a week.
Next, we need to multiply the number of hours worked by Calvin's hourly rate.
35 hours x $11.50 per hour = $402.50
Therefore, Calvin Hines' total pay for the week is $402.50.
