Paul works at a gas station. He earns $9.00 per hour. If he works eight hours a day, how much does he earn in a day?
He works for six days a week. What is his weekly pay?
8 * 9 = _____ per day
Multiply the daily wage by 6.
2.25
To find out how much Paul earns in a day, you need to multiply his hourly wage ($9.00) by the number of hours he works in a day (8).
So, Paul earns $9.00 * 8 = $72.00 in a day.
To calculate his weekly pay, you need to multiply his daily earnings ($72.00) by the number of days he works in a week (6).
So, Paul earns $72.00 * 6 = $432.00 in a week.
Therefore, Paul earns $432.00 in a week.
