OK
Earnings = 6h monday and wed, 8 for tues and thurs and sat
I guess no work on fri and sun
So his earnings, if he gets 8.55 per hour is
earnings = 6(8.55) + 8(8.55) + 6(8.55) + 8(8.55) + 8(8.55)
earnings = 51.30 + 68.40 + 51.30 + 68.40 + 68.40
earnings = 307.80
Hope this helps!

MON (6 hrs x $8.55 hr) + TUE (8 hrs x $8.55 hr) + WED (6 hrs x $8.55 hr) + THU (8 hrs x $8.55 hr) + FRI 0 + SAT (8 hrs x $8.55 hr) + SUN 0
Total earning for the first week = $307.

((3 x 8) + (2 x 6)) x 8.55
Assuming you are studying 'order of operation' and need to decide where to put the parenthesis.
Actually, if you are doing 'order of operation', multiplying comes before addition anyway, so it could be
(3 x 8 + 2 x 6) x 8.55
But that is a lot less clear, so it would only be if you are doing 'order of operation' homework, and using as few parenthesis as possible.

8h+8h+8h+6h+6h=36h
36(8.55) = $307.80
