This week is representative of how many hours Ricki will work each week during Summer Break. If she earns $9 per hour and there are 12 weeks in summer vacation, what will Ricki’s gross earnings be? Explain your reasoning. Please answer ASP

The answer would be $18,144.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to figure out how many hours are in one week. 168 hours are in one week. The problem is asking us for 12 weeks. You would have to multiply 168 by 12 to see how many hours it would be. 168 times 12 is 2,016. Ricki earns $9 every hour. Next, you would have to multiply the 2,016 by 9 to give you 18,144. I hope this helps.
