Answer:
59.40 or 59.4 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to find how many hours she worked to earn $46.20. She worked from 8 am to 1:15 pm, which is 5 hours and 15 minutes. We can write that number in terms of hours as 5.25 hours.
Now that we know how many hours she worked to earn $46.20, we can divide the money by the hours to find out how much she makes per hour.
46.20 dollars / 5.25 hours = 8.8 dollars per hour
Now that we know she earns 8.8 dollars per hour, we can calculate how much she would earn if she worked from 8 am to 2:45 pm. To do that, we need to find out how many hours is from 8 am to 2:45 pm (Hopefully that makes sense.)
From 8 am to 2:45 pm is 6.75 hours. Now that we know the time, we should multiply the money she earns per hour by the hours she should work.
8.8 dollars per hour * 6.75 hours = $59.4
Thus, the answer is 59.40 or 59.4 dollars.
