Answer: 620

Step-by-step explanation:

$40 x 5.5 hrs = $220 This means that she earned $220 tutoring the first student.

$40 x 10 hrs = $400 She earned $400 tutoring the second student.

$220 + $400 = $620 She earned $620 in total that week.

Answer:

○ $620

Step-by-step explanation:

• To calculate the amount that the tutor earned that week, we can first calculate the total amount of time they spent tutoring:

total time spent = 5.5 hours + 10 hours

                          = 15.5 hours

• Now that we know the total tutoring time, we can calculate the amount they earned:

⇒ In 1 hour, the tutor earns $40.

∴ In 15.5 hours, the tutor will earn = 15.5 × 40

                                                        = $620

Therefore, the tutor earned $620 that week.
