Each hour James makes $6.20, so 30 hours he makes 6.20*30=186 dollars.
He makes 186*4=744 dollars in a period of 4 weeks.

anonymous · Answer

Just multiply his wage (6.20) by his hours (30) to get 186. Then multiply 186 by the number of weeks in a month (4) to get $744.
$$4(6.20*30)=744$$

Good, Just_Al!

oh i kinda figured by each hour in  a day ehich is 24 and multiplied it but 2 and then multiplied the answers together 6.20 times 30 times etc

anonymous · Answer

That wouldn't be how it works, Starr. He is ONLY working 30 hours during a week, which means you only multiple 6.20 by 30.
