The Bagel Factory has 12 employees. Eight of them are paid $8.00 an hour, three are paid $10.00 an hour, and the foreman is paid $12.00 an hour. What are the total earnings for one hour?

This is a multiple choice question and the alternatives are as follows a. $144 b.$30 c. $66 d. $106

Answer 1

#d.# #$106#

The total earnings for one hour is equal to the sum of all the salaries.

#"total earnings = all the salaries added together"#

There are three groups of different leveled salaries. For each group, use this formula:

#"how many are in the group" xx "how much they make"#
There are #8# that make #$8# an hour so:
#8 xx 8 = $64#
There are #3# that make #$10# an hour:
#3 xx 10 = $30#
And there is #1# that makes #$12# an hour:
#1 xx 12 = $12#
Each of the groups make #64#, #30#, and #12# dollars respectively. Remember, the total earnings is all the salaries added together. So add these three numbers together:
#"total earnings" = 64 + 30 + 12 = 106#
The whole group made #$106# in one hour.

Answer 2

Multiply the number of employees by their respective hourly rates and then sum the results. So, ( (8 \times 8) + (3 \times 10) + 12 ) equals the total earnings for one hour.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
