You worked from 2:30pm – 8:45pm with a ½ hour lunch break. Your hourly wage is $7.50/ hour. How much did you earn?
Well, let's do some math, but don't worry, I promise it won't be as boring as watching paint dry! So, you worked from 2:30pm to 8:45pm, which is a total of 6 hours and 15 minutes.
Now, since you had a 30-minute lunch break, we have to deduct that from your total working hours. So, we're left with 5 hours and 45 minutes.
Now, it's time to calculate your earnings. If your hourly wage is $7.50, we can simply multiply that by the number of hours worked.
5 hours and 45 minutes is equivalent to 5.75 hours. So, multiplying 5.75 by $7.50 gives us... *drumroll please*... $43.13!
Congratulations, my friend! It looks like you've earned yourself a sweet sum of $43.13. Now go out and treat yourself to something nice, like a rubber chicken or a juggling ball set!
2:30 - 8:45 is 6 hours and 15 minutes
Subtract thirty minutes
= 5 hours and 45 minutes
7.50(5) = ??
To calculate your earnings, we need to determine the number of hours worked before and after the lunch break separately.
First, we calculate the hours worked before the lunch break:
Time worked = 2:30pm - 8:45pm = 6 hours and 15 minutes
Lunch break = 30 minutes
Hours worked before lunch = 6 hours and 15 minutes - 30 minutes = 5 hours and 45 minutes
Next, we determine the hours worked after the lunch break:
Hours worked after lunch = Total hours worked - Hours worked before lunch
Hours worked after lunch = 6 hours and 15 minutes - 5 hours and 45 minutes
Hours worked after lunch = 30 minutes
Now, we can calculate your total earnings:
Total earnings = (Hours worked before lunch x Hourly wage) + (Hours worked after lunch x Hourly wage)
Total earnings = (5.75 hours x $7.50/hour) + (0.5 hour x $7.50/hour)
Using this equation, we can calculate your total earnings.
To calculate the earnings, we need to determine the total number of hours worked and subtract the lunch break time.
First, let's find the total hours worked:
8:45 pm - 2:30 pm = 6 hours and 15 minutes
Next, subtract the lunch break time of 30 minutes:
6 hours and 15 minutes - 30 minutes = 5 hours and 45 minutes
Now, convert 5 hours and 45 minutes to decimal form by dividing the minutes by 60:
45 minutes ÷ 60 = 0.75
Add the decimal value to the whole number of hours:
5 hours + 0.75 = 5.75 hours
Finally, multiply the total hours worked by the hourly wage to get the total earning:
5.75 hours × $7.50/hour = $43.13
Therefore, you earned $43.13.
