One employee worked the following hours during the week:
Thursday: 3.5 hours
Friday: 4.5 hours
Saturday: 6 hours
Sunday: 5.5 hours.
Thus, add all the hours to find the total hours in a week. One employee worked the following hours during the week: Thursday: 3.5 hours Friday: 4.5 hours Saturday: 6 hours Sunday: 5.5 hours. Thus, add all the hours to find the total hours in a week.   Now if he is paid $8.65 per hour, then to find his pay for the week, you need to multiply $19.5 by $8.65. Hence, the total cost is $168.70. Now if he is paid $8.65 per hour, then to find his pay for the week, you need to multiply $19.5 by $8.65.
Hence, the total cost is $168.70.
