Presuming all of the workers earned the same hourly wage, then you have to add up all of the hours worked: Three times 7.5 plus three times 6.5 plus 7 plus 4.25. Then divide the total check by the number of hours worked to get the hourly wage per worker. Then it is a simple matter of multiplying the hourly wage times the number of hours each worker worked.
