Answer 1

Gross earning for the week is `$976`

Explanation:

Payment for `40` hour work week at `$10` per hour is

`W=40*10= $400`

Total apples picked at `180` kg per hour is `N=180*40=7200` kg

Incentive payment for picking of `7200` kg apple at `$8` per

`100` kg of apple is `I= 7200/100*8= $576`

Gross earning for the week is `G=W+I= 400+576=$976`[Ans]

Answer 2
