General Education Development (GED) Practice Exam

To determine how much Scott Smith should be paid for the week of November 1st through November 7th, we start by identifying the weekdays and weekend days within that period. From November 1st to November 7th, we have: - Weekdays: November 1 (Monday), 2 (Tuesday), 3 (Wednesday), 4 (Thursday), 5 (Friday). - Weekend days: November 6 (Saturday) and 7 (Sunday). This breaks down to 5 weekdays and 2 weekend days. Now, calculating his earnings: - For the 5 weekdays where he earns $10.00 per hour, if we assume he works the standard 8-hour day, his total pay for weekdays would be: 5 days × 8 hours/day × $10.00/hour = $400.00. - For the 2 weekend days where he earns $11.00 per hour, his total pay for those days would be: 2 days × 8 hours/day × $11.00/hour = $176.00. Adding these two amounts together, we get: $400.00 (weekdays) + $176.00 (weekends) = $576.
