1. You earn \( \$ 11.25 \) per hour. You worked 30 hours last week. What was your pay for the week? 2. Sylvia is a teacher's aide. She earns \( \$ 12.71 \) per hour. She works 34 hours per week. a. What would her pay be for a two-week pay-period? b. If she gets paid bi-weekly, what would her yearly pay be?

You earned \( \$ 11.25 \) per hour and worked 30 hours, so to find your weekly pay, simply multiply: \[ 11.25 \times 30 = \$ 337.50 \] So, your pay for the week was \( \$ 337.50 \). For Sylvia, she earns \( \$ 12.71 \) per hour and works 34 hours per week. First, we calculate her pay for one week: \[ 12.71 \times 34 = \$ 431.14 \] For a two-week pay period: \[ 431.14 \times 2 = \$ 862.28 \]. Now for her yearly pay, since there are 26 bi-weekly pay periods in a year: \[ 862.28 \times 26 = \$ 22,414.28 \]. Her yearly pay would be \( \$ 22,414.28 \).
