445.83 dollars

Explanation:

To answer this problem, rules for ratio and proportion and simple algebra will be applied. First let's determine the payment the narrator will get after 47 minutes. Remember that 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes. By simple ratio and proportion, we can compute for the amount of payment after 47 minutes:

#(60)/(250)=(47)/(x)#

#60x=(250xx47)#

#60x=11750#

#x=(11750)/(60)#

#x=# #195.83# #dollars#

Add this with 250 dollarswill give us the final answer as 445.83 dollars
