Change 1 hour and 25 minutes to the correct notation:
1 hour and 25 minutes = 60 minutes + 25 minutes = 85 minutes
Do
85 60 = x 100
So
x = 85 100 60
x = 141.67 minutes 1.42 hours
Add the total number of hours together:
1.75 hours + 2.33 hours + 1.42 hours = 5.5 hours
Doug earns $10.50 per hour, so for 5.5 hours, multiply 10.50 by 5.5:
$10.50⋅5.5=$57.75
