$8.50 * 5 = $42.50
45 mins -> $8.50 / 60 * 45 = $6.37

She will earn less than $84 in one weekend because $42.50 + $6.37 = $48.87

Answer:

Ellen earns $159.375 more than $85.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Ellen walks dogs on weekends she gets paid $ 8.50 per hour. Each day she works 5 hours and 45 minutes.

[tex]\text{45 minutes}=\frac{45}{60}\text{ hour}[/tex]

[tex]\text{45 minutes}=0.75\text{ hour}[/tex]

We know that each week has 5 working days.

[tex]\text{Hours worked each week}=5\times 5.75\text{ hours}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Hours worked each week}=28.75\text{ hours}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Earnings each week}=\$8.50\times 28.75[/tex]

[tex]\text{Earnings each week}=\$244.375[/tex]

Since $244.375 is greater than $85, therefore, Ellen earns $159.375 more than $85.
