The company pays $142.60 for all three people employees' wages for one hour of work
Further explanation
Order of Operations in Mathematics follow this following rule :
- Multiplication and Division
This rule is known as the PEMDAS method.
In working on a mathematical problem, we first calculate operation that is in parentheses, follow by exponentiation, then multiplication or division, and finally addition or subtraction.
Let us tackle the problem!
At a factory, a mechanic earns $17.25 an hour
[tex]\texttt{ Mechanic's Wage } = \$17.25[/tex]
The president of the company earns 6 2/3 times as much for each hour the mechanic works
[tex]\texttt{ President's Wage } = 6\frac{2}{3} \times \texttt{ Mechanic's Wage }[/tex]
[tex]\texttt{ President's Wage } = 6\frac{2}{3} \times \$17.25[/tex]
[tex]\texttt{ President's Wage } = \$115[/tex]
The janitor at the same company earns 3/5 much as the mechanic
[tex]\texttt{ Janitor's Wage } = \frac{3}{5} \times \texttt{ Mechanic's Wage }[/tex]
[tex]\texttt{ President's Wage } = \frac{3}{5} \times \$17.25[/tex]
[tex]\texttt{ President's Wage } = \$10.35[/tex]
Total all three people employees' wages for one hour of work
[tex]\texttt{ Total Wages } = \$17.25 + \$115 + \$10.35[/tex]
[tex]\texttt{ Total Wages } = \boxed{\$142.60}[/tex]
Conclusion:
The company pays $142.6 for all three people employees' wages for one hour of work
