Question 1201060
Herb packs fish in 500 gram cans. He is paid $8.25 per hour plus $0.18 per kilogram in excess of 500 kg in 7.5 hour shift. How much will he earn per day if he packs 250 cans per hour?

In 7.5 hours herb packs

250 cans per hour each 500 grams (0.5 kg)
Total packed  in a day = 250 * 0.5 *7.5 = 937.5

Wages on hourly basis 8.25 *7.5 = 61.88

Extra packed including partially packed 937.5-500= 437.50 kg
Wage due to excess packing = 0.18 *437.50 = 78.75

Total earningin a day  = 61.88 +78.75 = $140.63
