815 to 1030 = 14.25 hours
(8*10)+(6.25*15)=

I presume he took no breaks for lunch, dinner, or the occasional Nature call?
Think about it - if you start at 8:15, what time is it eight hours later? He'll get $80 for that. From that point, how many hours until 10:30 PM? He'll get that many hours (it'll have a fraction in it) times 15. Add those together and you've got it.

That's not math, it's not even maths or mathematics. It's called arithmetic and I was expected to work out sums like these when I was eight or nine years old, So much for the American Education system!

He did 8 hours at $10 per hour [8x10] and a further 6.15 hours at $15 per hour (time and a half) [6.15x15] so it should work out to $172.25.

$105.50 if you would come and work for me. Its only labouring and as you can't work out anything for yourself you would be an ideal employee.
It is actually $173.75
8hrs @ $10 = $80
6.25 @ $10x1.5 = $93.75 - yes it's 6 and a quarter hours not 6.15
$93.75+$80 = $173.75

14 and a quarter hours
10 x 14 1/4 = 142.5
6 1/4 x 5 = 31.25
142.5 + 31.25 = 173.75
He'd get $173.75

assuming that he worked the whole time, he earned 80+30=110 dollars i think

That question is so lame. Is that actually what you are stuck on? Don't make me laugh.

Looks like you are not the only one here who can't do simple arithmetic.
