Answer 2

yea sorry lol 538.8

Answer 3

well 538.8 is the amount she gets just for the 40 hrs of regular work. but she also worked 8 weekend hrs, which she gets paid time and a half for. so add 1.5(13.47)(8) to 538.8

Answer 4

so i times 1.5 to 13.47 ?

Answer 5

multiplying 1.5 and 13.47 will give you the amount of money she makes per weekend hr. multiplying that and 8 will give you the amount of money she made for 8 weekend hrs

Answer 6

700.44?

Answer 7

yes :)

Answer 8

how did you get 1.5?

it said she gets paid time and a half for each weekend hr. so "time and a half" is the same as 1 and a half, or 1.5
