$72.51
To find out how much Melanie spent on gas today, we need to subtract the cost of the gas she filled two days ago from the cost of the gas she filled today.
The cost of gas filled today: 110.85 gallons * $2.98 per gallon = $330.083
The cost of gas filled two days ago: $257.82
Therefore, the difference in cost is: $330.083 - $257.82 = $72.263
Rounding to the nearest cent, Melanie spent $72.26 more on gas today than she did two days ago.
To calculate Jesse's pay before deductions, we need to multiply the number of hours worked by their hourly rate.
Step 1: Multiply the number of hours worked by the hourly rate:
64.85 hours * $11.50/hour = $744.78
Step 2: Round the result to the nearest cent:
Jesse's pay before deductions will be approximately $744.78.
To find Jesse's pay before deductions, we need to multiply the number of hours worked by the hourly rate.
First, let's calculate the total number of hours Jesse worked in two weeks:
Jesse worked 64.85 hours over two weeks.
Now, let's calculate the pay before deductions:
Pay before deductions = Number of hours worked × Hourly rate
Pay before deductions = 64.85 hours × $11.50/hour
To find the product, we multiply the number of hours with the hourly rate:
Pay before deductions = 64.85 × 11.50
Using a calculator, we find that the pay before deductions is $746.03.
However, we are asked to round the answer to the nearest cent.
Rounding the answer to the nearest cent, the pay before deductions is $746.03 rounded to $746.00.
