She gets paid $22.50 per hour. She is paid for breaks so they are not show. Her times are: monday: in 9am out 5pm, Tuesdays: in 9am out 6pm, Wednesday: in 8:30am out 5:30 pm, Thursday: in 9am out 4:30pm, Friday: in 9am out 4 pm. A- how many hours did she work this week? B- find her weekly wage.

Let's break down the problem step by step:

### A. How many hours did she work this week?

We'll calculate the total number of hours worked each day:

- **Monday**: In at 9:00 AM, out at 5:00 PM → 8 hours
- **Tuesday**: In at 9:00 AM, out at 6:00 PM → 9 hours
- **Wednesday**: In at 8:30 AM, out at 5:30 PM → 9 hours
- **Thursday**: In at 9:00 AM, out at 4:30 PM → 7.5 hours
- **Friday**: In at 9:00 AM, out at 4:00 PM → 7 hours

Now, let's sum these hours:

\[
8 + 9 + 9 + 7.5 + 7 = 40.5 \text{ hours}
\]

She worked **40.5 hours** this week.

### B. Find her weekly wage

She is paid **$22.50 per hour**, so we multiply the number of hours by her hourly rate:

\[
40.5 \times 22.50 = 911.25
\]

Her weekly wage is **$911.25**.
