Joanne makes $16.00 working at her main job for 8 hours a day. She has a part-time job, working an extra 2 hours a day where she makes $13.50 an hour. How much money does she make if she works this schedule 5 days a week?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
She works 8 hours a day at $16.00 an hour so she makes 8 * 16 = $128.00 a day. She works this job 5 days a week so she makes 128 * 5 = $640.00 in 5 days. She works 2 hours a day at $13.50 an hour so she makes 2 * 13.50 = $27.00 a day. She works this job 5 days a week so she makes 27 * 5 = $135.00. She makes $640 at her main job and $135 at her part - time job so all total she makes 640 + 135 = $775.00 in 5 days.
Thus, the answer is 775.
