Answer:

Sue Black: 40 hours, $270

Jerry Atrix: 30 hours, $154.50

Sam Ting: 38.75 hours, $339.06

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, 40 hours is a workweek of 8-hour shifts. It's good to remember. Otherwise, we can multiply 8 by 5 and get 40 anyway. That's the hours of Sue Black, and she earns:

40*$6.75 = $270

Jerry worked for (note you can easily add in memory if you do the fractions first):

7.25+3+6.75+8+5 = 7.25+6.75 + 3+8+5 = 14 + 16 = 30

Earnings:

30*$5.15 = $154.50

Sam worked a quarter of an hour less than Sue each day. That means that his total time was:

40 - 5 * 0.25 = 40 - 1.25 = 38.75

Earnings:

38.75*$8.75 = $339.0625 ≈$339.06
