Question

Annie has two jobs. She gets paid $14.04 per hour for tutoring at City College and $8.75 per hour at a coffee shop. Last week, she tutored for 8 hours and worked at the coffee shop for 15 hours. If she had worked all 23 hours as a tutor instead of working both jobs, how much money would she have earned?


$243.57


$112.32


$36.62


$322.92

Answer 1

To calculate how much money Annie would have earned if she worked all 23 hours as a tutor, we can use her tutoring hourly wage and multiply it by the total hours.

Annie's hourly rate as a tutor is $14.04. If she works all 23 hours as a tutor, we can do the following calculation:

\[
\text{Total Earnings} = \text{Hourly Rate} \times \text{Total Hours}
\]
\[
\text{Total Earnings} = 14.04 \times 23
\]
\[
\text{Total Earnings} = 322.92
\]

So, if Annie had worked all 23 hours as a tutor instead of working both jobs, she would have earned **$322.92**.
