If an employee works 30 hours one week and then works another 30 hours at a wage of $12/hr, what will be their gross wages for those two weeks?

$720
$740
$760
$805

The correct answer is: $720

To determine the gross wages for the employee over the two weeks, first calculate the total number of hours worked and then multiply that by the hourly wage. In this case, the employee worked 30 hours in the first week and 30 hours in the second week, leading to a total of 60 hours worked. The hourly wage is $12. Now, calculate the gross wages: Total hours worked = 30 hours + 30 hours = 60 hours Gross wages = Total hours worked × Hourly wage Gross wages = 60 hours × $12/hour = $720 Thus, the gross wages for the two weeks amount to $720, making this the correct answer.
