Answer 1

$\begin{gathered} \text{Since Rena made 182 units, her payment will be divided into 2 separate computation} \\ \text{Solve for 100 units produced } \\ \ 0.41\times100=\ 41 \\ \text{Then solve for the remaining 82, for which was made over 100 units} \\ \ 0.53\times82=\ 43.46 \\ \text{Then add the two} \\ \ 41+\ 43.46=\ 84.46 \\ \text{In total, she earned \ 84.46.} \end{gathered}$
