lunch. How much does she earn each week if she gets paid $4.80 per hour?
she works 1630-0800- 1 hr or 7.5 hours per day. I am not certain how many days per week she works.
i don't really get it?
Bob told you that she works 7.5 hours a day.
7.5 * 4.8 = ______ daily wage
To find the weekly wage, multiply the daily wage by the number of days she works each week.
To find out how much Delia earns each week, we need to calculate her total working hours per week and then multiply it by her hourly rate.
First, let's calculate her working hours per day. Since Delia works from 8:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. with a one-hour lunch break, we subtract the time for lunch from her total work hours:
Total work hours = End time - Start time - Lunch break
= 4:30 PM - 8:00 AM - 1 hour
= (16:30) - (08:00) - 1:00
= (16:30) - (08:00) - (01:00)
= 08:30
So, Delia works for 8 hours and 30 minutes each day.
Next, we calculate her total working hours per week by multiplying her daily working hours by the number of workdays in a week:
Total working hours per week = Daily working hours x Number of workdays
Considering that a typical workweek consists of 5 workdays (Monday to Friday), we have:
Total working hours per week = 8 hours and 30 minutes x 5 days
= (8:30) x 5
= 42:30
= 42 hours and 30 minutes
Therefore, Delia works for 42 hours and 30 minutes per week.
Finally, we can calculate her weekly earnings by multiplying her total working hours by her hourly rate:
Weekly earnings = Total working hours per week x Hourly rate
= 42.5 hours x $4.80/hour
≈ $204.00
Hence, Delia earns approximately $204.00 per week.
