Answer 1

To find out how much Jackson is paid per week, we can use the formula:

\[ \text{Total Pay} = \text{Hourly Rate} \times \text{Hours Worked} \]

In this case, Jackson's hourly rate is $12.50 and he works 12 hours a week. Plugging in the values:

\[ \text{Total Pay} = 12.50 \times 12 = 150.00 \]

Therefore, Jackson is paid $150.00 per week.

The correct answer is: $150.00
