Question

Mae receive $129.00 for working one 10-hour day. One day she had to stop after working 9 hours because of a doctors appointment. How much did she make that day?

Answer 1

First, find the hourly pay rate by dividing the total amount received over the working time. Since Mae receives $129.00 for working for 10 hours, then the hourly rate is:

$\frac{129.00}{10}=12.90$

Next, multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours worked to find the total earnings. Since one day Mae worked 9 hours, then the total pay for that day is:

$12.90\times9=116.10$

Therefore, Mae earned $116.10 that day.
