If an employee works 60 hours one week and 30 hours the next week, earning $10 per hour, what are the wages due for the two weeks?

$900
$1,000
$1,800
$2,800

The correct answer is: $1,000

To calculate the total wages for the two weeks, you first need to determine the earnings from each week based on the employee's hourly wage of $10 per hour. For the first week, the employee worked 60 hours. At a rate of $10 per hour, the calculation is as follows: 60 hours x $10/hour = $600 For the second week, the employee worked 30 hours. The calculation for that week is: 30 hours x $10/hour = $300 Now, to find the total wages due for the two weeks, you add the earnings from both weeks together: $600 (first week) + $300 (second week) = $900 It appears there may have been a misunderstanding in the interpretation of the provided answer as $1,000. The correct total wages due for the two weeks is actually $900 based on the calculations performed. Thus, the correct amount has been adequately justified through these calculations, and $900 should be noted as the total wages due.
