Question

If I'm getting paid $11 per hour and I'm using military time and I clock in at 8:15 and clock out at 12:15 then clock in again at 13:15 and clock back out at 17:30 how much did I make? Round to the nearest cent if necessary.

Answer 1

To calculate your earnings, we need to determine the total number of hours you worked during the times you've provided.

1. **First Shift:**
- Clock in: 08:15
- Clock out: 12:15

Total time for the first shift:
\(12:15 - 08:15 = 4\) hours

2. **Second Shift:**
- Clock in: 13:15
- Clock out: 17:30

Total time for the second shift:
\(17:30 - 13:15 = 4\) hours and \(15\) minutes
To convert \(15\) minutes into hours:
\(15\) minutes = \(0.25\) hours
Thus, \(4\) hours and \(15\) minutes = \(4.25\) hours

3. **Total Hours Worked:**
First shift: \(4\) hours
Second shift: \(4.25\) hours
Total: \(4 + 4.25 = 8.25\) hours

4. **Total Earnings:**
Hourly wage = $11
Total earnings = \(8.25 \text{ hours} \times 11 \text{ dollars/hour}\)

Total earnings = \(90.75\) dollars

Therefore, you made **$90.75** for the hours you worked.
