Answer provided by our tutors

let x = the hours Susan works per day


Susan works 6-7 hours per day:


6 <= x <= 7


Susan gets paid $7.45 an hour thus she will get 7.45x dollars per day and


7.45*6 <= 7.45x <= 7.45*7


44.7 <= 7.45x <= 52.15


She works 3 days out of the week thus for she will be paid 3*7.45x per week


3*44.7 <= 3*7.45x < 3*52.15


134.1 <= 22.35x <= 156.45


Susan gets paid every two weeks thus in 2 weeks she will paid 2*3*7.45x or


2*134.1 <= 2*22.35x <= 2*156.45


268.2 <= 44.7x <= 312.9


Susan's first pay check will be between $268.2 and $312.9.


In 1 month she will receive twice the previous amount (for 4 weeks) or an amount between $536.4 and $625.8.
