First you need to find how many hours were worked for each job. Then you multiply it by the number of hours 100x.

OpenStudy (ebonyserrano):

so 200 x 100

tigerlover (tigerlover):

Look. You have $12 for tutor and $8 for being a waiter. If its just to be the amount for the tutor it is 12*100=?

OpenStudy (ebonyserrano):
