A plumber's assistant's rate of pay is $0.75 per cubic foot of earth moved. He moves 220 cubic feet of earth to dig a trench. He moves the same amount to fill the trench. What is his pay for this job?

$___________

(These questions are all confusing)

220 * 2 * 0.75 = $_______

$330

To calculate the plumber assistant's pay for this job, we need to determine the total amount of earth moved and then multiply it by the rate of pay.

First, let's find the total amount of earth moved. The plumber assistant moves 220 cubic feet of earth to dig the trench and the same amount to fill it, so the total amount of earth moved is:

220 cubic feet (digging) + 220 cubic feet (filling) = 440 cubic feet

Next, we multiply the total amount of earth moved by the rate of pay to find the pay for the job. The rate of pay is $0.75 per cubic foot, so:

440 cubic feet * $0.75 per cubic foot = $330

Therefore, the plumber assistant's pay for this job is $330.

If you encounter more confusing questions, you can break them down into smaller steps and apply logical reasoning to find the answer. It's important to understand the problem and identify the relevant information before attempting to solve it.
