If I'm getting paid $12.50 per hour and I'm using military time and I clock in at 8:00 and clock out at 11:45 then clock in again at 13:15 and clock back out at 18:00 how much did I make? Round to the nearest cent if necessary.

To calculate your earnings, we need to determine the total hours worked during your shifts and then multiply that by your hourly wage of $12.50.

**First Shift:**
- Clock in: 08:00
- Clock out: 11:45

To find the total hours for this shift:
- From 08:00 to 11:45 is 3 hours and 45 minutes.
- 45 minutes is 0.75 hours, so:

\[
3 \text{ hours} + 0.75 \text{ hours} = 3.75 \text{ hours}
\]

**Second Shift:**
- Clock in: 13:15
- Clock out: 18:00

To find the total hours for this shift:
- From 13:15 to 18:00 is 4 hours and 45 minutes.
- 45 minutes is 0.75 hours, so:

\[
4 \text{ hours} + 0.75 \text{ hours} = 4.75 \text{ hours}
\]

**Total Hours Worked:**
Now, we add the hours from both shifts:

\[
3.75 \text{ hours} + 4.75 \text{ hours} = 8.5 \text{ hours}
\]

**Total Earnings:**
Now we can calculate your total earnings:

\[
8.5 \text{ hours} \times 12.50 \text{ dollars/hour} = 106.25 \text{ dollars}
\]

Therefore, you made **$106.25**.
