Respuesta :


[tex]7.5 \times 14.74 = 110.55[/tex]
[tex]110.55 \times 4 = 442.2[/tex]
[tex]574.86 - 442.2 = 132.66[/tex]

Answer:

till 5:30 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Michael works from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm also he takes 30 minutes lunch break so, total hour work per day = 7 hours 30 minutes.

Also, he earns $14.74 working for 1 hour.

So, earning of Michael on Monday = 7[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] hours × $14.74 = $110.55

This is continued till Thursday So, $110.55 × 4 = $442.2

Means Michael has to earn $574.86 - $442.2 = $132.66

Thus, the number of hours he had to work = $132.66 ÷ $14.74 = 9 hours

Also, Michael works 7 hours 30 minutes daily before Friday, Hence on Friday he has to work 1 hour 30 minutes more i.e. till 5:30 pm
