You make clocks and you get paid $10.50/clock. If you make

25 clocks a day and work 5 days a week, how much will you

make for that week’s work?

To find out how much you will make for a week's work, we need to calculate the total number of clocks you make in the week and then multiply it by the amount you get paid per clock.

1. **Clocks made per day**: 25 clocks  
2. **Days worked per week**: 5 days  
   
   So, the total number of clocks made in a week is:
   \[
   25 \, \text{clocks/day} \times 5 \, \text{days/week} = 125 \, \text{clocks/week}
   \]

3. **Payment per clock**: $10.50 per clock

Now, multiply the total number of clocks by the payment per clock:
\[
125 \, \text{clocks/week} \times 10.50 \, \text{\$ per clock} = 1312.50 \, \text{\$}
\]

Therefore, you will make **$1,312.50** for that week's work.

### Relative Questions:
1. What if you worked 6 days a week instead of 5?
2. How much would you make if you produced 30 clocks per day?
3. How much would you earn per year if you work 50 weeks in the year?
4. What if the payment per clock increased to $12.00?
5. How much would you make in a week if you produced 20 clocks a day?

### Tip:
To solve problems involving repeated tasks over time, always multiply the rate of work (clocks/day) by the total time (days/week) before applying the earnings rate (payment/clock).

You make clocks and you get paid $10.50/clock. If you make 25 clocks a day and work 5 days a week, how much will you make for that week’s work?

Discover how to calculate weekly earnings when you make 25 clocks a day, work 5 days a week, and earn $10.50 per clock. This problem demonstrates simple arithmetic calculations, such as multiplication of rates, and is suitable for students in Grades 6-8.
