Question

Rashid is paid by the hour. He earned $50 for a 4-hour workday. How much does he earn for a 5 1/4-hour workday?

Answer 1

ANSWER: $65.63

$50 divided by 4 hours = $12.50 per hour
1/4 can also be written as the fraction 0.25
So 5 1/4 hours is the same as 5.25 hours
$12.50 per hour x 5.25 hours = $65.625 rounded to the nearest cent = $65.63
