Answers & Comments
1. 45.50 PESOS TIMES 40 HOURS IS EQUAL TO 1,820.
1820 TIMES 1.50 IS 2730.
NEXT IS 2730 TIMES 2 IS 5460.
SO 5,460 PESOS.
2. 8.5 HOURS TIMES 5 BECAUSE MON-FRI IS 5 DAYS.
SO,
8.5 TIMES 5 IS 42.5
6.75 ON SATURDAY, RIGHT?
42.75 PLUS 6.75 IS 49.5
FINALLY, IF SHE PAID 55.25 PESOS PER HOUR,
IT MEANS 55.25 PESOS TIMES 49.5 HOURS IS EQUAL TO 2,742.75 PESOS
