Problema Solution

Jarvis works in a garage for £7 an hour.

If he works on Saturday he is paid time and a half.

If he works on Sunday he is paid time and three quarters.

Last weekend Jarvis worked for seven hours on Saturday and two hours on Sunday.

How much was Jarvis paid last weekend all together?

Answer provided by our tutors

Amount per hr paid on saturday = 7 * 1.5

Amount per hr paid on Sunday= 7 * 1.75

Total amount earned= 7 * 7 * 1.5 + 2 * 7 * 1.75

= (10.5 + 3.5) * 7 = 98
