She earned 661.50 dollars. If she worked 7.5 hrs each day Mon-Wed, she worked 22.5 hrs from Mon-Wed because 7.5 times 3 is 22.5. She also worked 6 hrs on Sat. and 5.25 hrs on Sun., so in total, she worked 33.75 hrs last week. To find out her pay, we have to multiply the total hrs by the amount she gets payed, 19.60. 33.75x19.60 is 661.50, the amount she got payed last week.
