Find out how many hours you worked first.

2:30 pm-8:45 => 6:15 hours

But they say that you take a break of 1/2 hour 

6:15- 0:30= 5:45 hours 

Convert all the data into hours. 5 hours + 45/60 hours 

Multiply data with given hourly wage. 

5x$7.50=$37.5 

(45/60)x7.50=$5.625 

In total, you earn (37.5+5.625)=> $43.125

Hope I helped :) 

Answer: He earned $43.125.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

2:30 pm - 8:45 pm

Number of hours they worked for = 6 hours 15 minutes

It becomes

[tex]=6\dfrac{15}{60}\\\\=6\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{25}{4}[/tex]

Number of hour he go for lunch = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

Remaining number of hours for wages is given by

[tex]\dfrac{25}{4}-\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{25-2}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{23}{4}[/tex]

Amount per hour = $7.50

Total amount he earned is given by

[tex]\dfrac{23}{4}\times 7.50\\\\=\$43.125[/tex]

Hence, he earned $43.125.
