Carolyn earns $34 for an 8-hour day. Yesterday she took 3 hours off without pay. How much money did she lose?

12.75$ lost

Step-by-step explanation:

34/8=4.25 × 3=12.75$

She lost $12.75 for taking 3 hours off without pay

Step-by-step explanation:

If she makes $34 every 8 hours, that goes down to $4.25 per hour. If she took 3 hours off without pay, we simply would multiply her hourly rate of $4.25 by the amount of hours she took off without pay (3) and we'd get our answer of $12.75 or the amount she lost!
