At the fair 4 employees were paid $8.75 an hour to work at a funnel cake stand. They worked 8 hours at regular pay then for 5 hours at overtime pay for extra $2.50 an hour. How much did each employee earn?

$125.25

Step-by-step explanation:

8.75*h+11.25*e

h is hours regular pay and e is extra pay for overtime. Since its an extra $2.50 for overtime, add that to the regular pay. Put in the hours:

Simplify by multiplying 8.75 by 8

Simplify by multiplying 11.25 by 5

Add

Since it says how much did each earn, as in individually, leave it as it is (unless regular pay was $2.18 an hour, which would be a rip-off). I'm pretty sure including the number of employees was meant to throw you off.
