Answer 1

Answer:

(a) Piece work pay is $90.6. (b) Hourly pay for the week is $304 (c) Total Pay for the week is $394.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Audrey receives a salary of $8 per hour.

Piecework pay is 12 cents per unit.  

Solve,

Part (a)

$\begin{aligned}\rm{Audrey\; piece\;of \;work\; per\; unit}&=\ \dfrac{12}{100}\\&=\ 0.12\end{aligned}$

Now,

The number of units produced by her in last week is 755 units.

Therefore,

$\begin{aligned}\rm{Piece\;work\;pay}&=\rm{Total\;unit\;produced} \times \rm{pay\;per\;unit}\\&=755 \times 0.12\\&=\bold{\ 90.6}\end{aligned}$

Part (b)

Audrey's hourly pay is $8.

She worked 38 hours last week.

Therefore,

$\begin{aligned}\rm{Audrey's\;hourly\;pay\;for\;the\;week}&= \rm{Total\;time\;spend\;for\;the\;work }\times \rm{Hourly\;Pay}\\&=38 \times 8\\&=\bold{\ 304}\end{aligned}$

Part (c)

Audrey's piecework pay for the week was $90.6 {This can be concluded from part (a)}.

Audrey's hourly pay for the week was $304  {This can be concluded from part (b)}.

Total pay for the week = Audrey's piecework pay for the week + Audrey's hourly pay for the week

Total pay for the week = $90.6+$304

                                      =$394.6

Part (d)

Audrey's piecework pay for the week was $90.6 when she produced 755 units.

Now, as per production, the pay will be $90.6 but for evaluating the total weekly salary, it is important to know about the time spend by Audrey to execute the whole work.
