Answer 1

Answer: He is paid $90 last weekend.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount he earns per hour = $6

If he works on Saturday, he is paid time and a quarter .

Amount would be

$6\times 1.25=\ 7.5$

If he works on Sunday, he is paid time and a half.

Amount would be

$6\times 1.5=\ 9$

Number of hours he worked on Saturday = 6 hours

Number of hours he worked on Sunday = 5 hours

So, Total amount he is paid last weekend altogether is given by

$6\times 7.5+5\times 9\\\\=\ 90$

Hence, he is paid $90 last weekend.
