Question: 358
5. Maria earns $9 per hour on weekdays and $12 per hour on weekends. This week she worked 8 hours on Tuesday, 6 hours on Thursday, 7 hours on Friday, and 9 hours on Saturday. How much did she earn?
- A. $214
- B. $279
- C. $297
- D. $312
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
C is correct. Maria earns $9 per hour on weekdays and $12 per hour on weekends. For 8 hours of work on Tuesday she earned 8 × $9 = $72. For 6 hours of work on Thursday she earned 6 × $9 = $54. For 7 hours of work on Friday she earned 7 × $9 = $63. For 9 hours of work on Saturday she earned 9 × $12 = $108. $72 + $54 + $63 + $108 = $297.
