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.

Answer 1

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.
