James works from 2pm until 8:30pm on both Thursday and Friday. He is paid £12 per hour. On Saturday, he is paid 1 and 1/2 times his hourly pay. He works for 5 hours on Saturday. Calculate how much James earns in TOTAL for these three days.

9514 1404 393

  £246

Step-by-step explanation:

James works 8:30 -2:00 = 6: 30 hours on Thursday and Friday, for a total of 2×6:30 = 13:00 hours.

James works 5 hours on Saturday, but gets paid for 5×(1 1/2) = 7.5 hours. Then for the three days, he gets paid for 13 +7.5 = 20.5 hours.

James's total pay for the three days is ...

  (20.5 h)(£12/h) = £246 . . . . pay for 3 days

Additional comment

The associative property of multiplication says you can associate the factor 1 1/2 either with the hours or the pay:

  (5 h)((1 1/2)(£12/h)) = ((5 h)(1 1/2))(£12 /h)

The computation involving "time and a half" often calculates the pay separately for overtime hours. I sometimes find it easier to calculate the pay for overtime by increasing the hours, rather than the pay.

we'll this would mean that the dunk tank and the bounce house are the same for 20 hours because the 2 represents that the two activities, and the 20 represents the amount of hours they both are. so with this said, it means that the answer is c. the costs for a dunk tank and bounce house are the same for 20 hours.

c.the costs for a dunk tank and bounce house are the same for 20 hours.

hope this .
