Emily works as an over-the-road tractor trailer driver and is paid $0.33 per mile driven. In one day, she drives a total of 460 miles. How much did Emily earn that day?

Answer 1

To calculate Emily's earnings for the day, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Earnings} = \text{Miles Driven} \times \text{Pay per Mile} \]

Substituting the values provided:

\[ \text{Earnings} = 460 , \text{miles} \times 0.33 , \text{dollars/mile} \]

Now, performing the multiplication:

\[ \text{Earnings} = 460 \times 0.33 = 151.8 \]

Therefore, Emily earned $151.80 that day.
