Answer:
$96
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all I think Jarvis deserves a raise. Anyways, to the problem. It is said that on Saturdays, Jarvis (for every hour) is paid "time and a quarter". We would like to translate that into formal mathematics. Now if for every hour Jarvis is paid for an hour and a quarter that means (since a quarter is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of an hour) his salary for that hour is multiplied by ([tex]1+\frac{1}{4}[/tex]). If his hourly wage is $8 then on Saturdays he will get [tex]\$8*(1+\frac{1}{4}) = \$10[/tex] per hour. Similarly on Sundays he will get [tex]\$8*(1+\frac{1}{2}) = \$12[/tex] per hour.
According to his work sheet, Jarvis worked 6 hours on Saturday and 3 hours on Sunday so his total pay could be calculated as,
[tex]6h * \$10/h + 3h*\$12/h = \$60 + \$36 = \$96[/tex]
