Answers for sheet # 292
1) Find the area; 8.25 x 9.5 = 78.37 sq. meters
Total cost; 78.37 x 7.95 = $623.08
2)$15.36
3) For 40 hours: $8.50 x 40 = $340
Overtime: 6.25 hours x $8.50 x 1.5 times = $79.68
Total = $419.68
4) For 1st hour it is $5.50.
$1.75/half hour, so it is $3.50/hour.
The cost to park for remaining 1.5 hours is 1.5 hours x $3.50 = $5.25
Total: $5.50 + $5.25 = $10.75
