Yes, that's the answer for B.
To calculate Ted's weekly salary, we need to multiply the number of hours he works each day, the number of days he works per week, and his hourly rate.
a. Weekly Salary Calculation:
Ted works 8 hours a day for 5 days a week at an hourly rate of $90.20.
Hours worked per week: 8 hours/day * 5 days/week = 40 hours/week
Ted's weekly salary = Hours worked per week * Hourly rate
= 40 hours/week * $90.20/hour
= $3,608
Therefore, Ted's weekly salary is $3,608.
b. Now let's calculate his salary if he works 8 hours a day for 5 1/2 days a week at an hourly rate of $80.00.
Hours worked per week: 8 hours/day * (5 days/week + 1/2 day/week)
= 8 hours/day * 5.5 days/week
= 44 hours/week
Ted's new weekly salary = Hours worked per week * Hourly rate
= 44 hours/week * $80.00/hour
= $3,520
Therefore, Ted's salary if he works 8 hours a day for 5 1/2 days a week at an hourly rate of $80.00 would be $3,520.
