Problem 7: Jasmine earns $19.75 per hour and last week she worked 36 hours. What is her gross pay?
Gross pay = hourly rate × number of hours worked
= $19.75 × 36
Let’s calculate that:
First, break it down:
- $19.75 × 30 = $592.50
- $19.75 × 6 = $118.50
Now add them:
$592.50 + $118.50 =
$711.00
✔ So the correct answer is
a. $711.00

Problem 8: Nick earned $1250.00 on his last paycheck. He wants to put 8% in his savings account. How much should he save?
To find 8% of $1250:
Convert percent to decimal: 8% = 0.08
Multiply: $1250 × 0.08
Calculate:
$1250 × 0.08 = $100
✔ So the correct answer is
c. $100

Problem 9: Anna is 62 inches tall. Convert to centimeters.
We know: 1 inch = 2.54 cm
So: 62 inches × 2.54 cm/inch
Let’s compute:
60 × 2.54 = 152.4
2 × 2.54 = 5.08
Add them: 152.4 + 5.08 =
157.48 cm
✔ So the correct answer is
b. 157.48 cm

Problem 10: You are to administer 55 mg of a drug. The drug is available 10 mg/mL. How many mL will you give?
This means: for every 1 mL, there are 10 mg of drug.
You need 55 mg → so divide total mg needed by concentration:
55 mg ÷ 10 mg/mL =
5.5 mL
✔ So the correct answer is
d. 5.5 mL

Final Answer:
7. a. $711.00
8. c. $100
9. b. 157.48 cm
