Lance makes $11.35 an hour and earns time and a half pay for every hour over 40. If Lance
worked 47 hours this week, about how much will his paycheck be? Round to the hundredths
place.
A. $546.24
B. $521.37
C. $573.18
D. $454
Answer: C. $573.18
Explanation: $573.18 is correct because $11035 an hour x 40 hours a week equals $454.
Time and a half pay for Lance would be $17.025, and you figure out by multiplying $11.35
an hour by
1.5. Then multiply $17.025 times 7 overtime hours to get $119.175. Lastly, add $454 and
$119.175 and you will get $573.175. Rounded to the hundredth place would be $573.18.

off ofONE shirt, $29.99 is multiplied by 0.20, which equals $5.998. You subtract $5.998
from $89.97 to get $83.972. Rounded to the nearest hundredth you would get the correct
answer, $83.97.

|7|+|-2|=?
Note: This problem is the number -2 within an absolute value sign, not the number -21.
