Round to the nearest cent if necessary.



Answer :

To calculate the total pay for the given day, we will follow these steps:

1. Convert the times to a common unit (minutes).
- Morning in: 08:00 = [tex]\( 8 \times 60 = 480 \)[/tex] minutes
- Morning out: 12:15 = [tex]\( 12 \times 60 + 15 = 735 \)[/tex] minutes
- Afternoon in: 13:00 = [tex]\( 13 \times 60 = 780 \)[/tex] minutes
- Afternoon out: 17:15 = [tex]\( 17 \times 60 + 15 = 1035 \)[/tex] minutes

2. Calculate the total minutes worked for the morning and the afternoon.
- Morning minutes worked: [tex]\( 735 - 480 = 255 \)[/tex] minutes
- Afternoon minutes worked: [tex]\( 1035 - 780 = 255 \)[/tex] minutes

3. Calculate the total minutes worked in the entire day.
- Total minutes: [tex]\( 255 + 255 = 510 \)[/tex] minutes

4. Convert the total minutes to hours.
- Total hours: [tex]\( \frac{510}{60} = 8.5 \)[/tex] hours

5. Calculate the total pay.
- Wage per hour: [tex]\( \$ 11 \)[/tex]
- Total pay: [tex]\( 8.5 \times 11 = 93.50 \)[/tex]

Thus, the total pay for the given day is [tex]\(\$ 93.50\)[/tex].
