A reporter is paid by the word and per article. She earns $.1 per word. She earns $60 per article. She has to finish three stories in the next 4 hours. She averages 10 words a minute. How much can she expect to earn per hour if she writes the entire time?
She has 240 minutes to write because 4 x 60 = <T>multiply(4, 60)=240
She will write 2,400 words because 240 x 10 = <T>multiply(240, 10)=2400
She will earn $240 for the words because 2,400 x .1 = <T>multiply(2400, 0.1)=240.0
She will earn $180 from the articles because 3 x 60 = <T>multiply(3, 60)=180
She will earn $420 in total because 240 + 180 = <T>add(240, 180)=420
She will average $105 an hour because 420 / 4 = <T>divide(420, 4)=105.0
