For the last two rows, did you get what you see above ^^ ?

@quickstudent

Answer 8

Yes, that's what I got now.

Answer 9

Now, we have to add these.

For just the hour total, did you get 42 hous ?

Answer 10

I don't remember what I got when I first tried, but what I have altogether now is 44 hours and 24 minutes.

Answer 11

That is what I have.

Answer 12

For the first 40 hours, she earns $ 9.32 * 40 +

4 hours of time-and-a-half $9.32 * 3/2 * 4 +

24 min at time-and-a half $9.32 * 3/2 * 24/60 = ?

Answer 13

$ 9.32 * 40 + $9.32 * 3/2 * 4 + $9.32 * 3/2 * 24/60 = ?

Answer 14

Well with that, now when I try calculating the gross pay, I get $434.31. The closest to that in the choices is $434.45, but my exact answer isn't there.

Answer 15

434.312 is what I got. That would be $ 434.31 or $ 434.32.


What are the other options?

Answer 16

These are all the options


$412.41


$372.80


$410.08


$434.45

Answer 17

I see the options. Sorry

Answer 18

I think there may be an error where we calculated time for day 4. Check and see if you see an error.

Answer 19

I got 8 hours 27 minutes again, I don't see any error.

Answer 20

I did not find and error on day 4. I checked day 5 also,

Let's look at the calculation,

Answer 21

Calculated again, still same answer.

Answer 22

I did it again:

9.32 * 40 + 13.98 * 4 + 13.98 * .4 = $ 434.312

I would go with the $ 434. 45 --->

That is the closest.

Answer 23

What do you think about that? @quickstudent

Answer 24

Yeah I guess I'll just go with that.

Answer 25

@mathmate is checking our work. Let's see what he gets.

Answer 26

Sorry, I got distracted on something else.
Yes, I have 434.312 as well. I agree with all the hours that @Directrix calculated.
