Respuesta :

Given that the painter took three days to paint the exterior of the house in the following timings.

Thursday 7.30 am to 5.15 pm = 9 hours 45 minutes

Friday 7.00 am to 4.40 pm = 9 hours 40 minutes

Saturday 8.30 am to 4.30 pm = 8 hours

Also, it is given that the rate 23 $ per hour, and there is a rest of 1/2 hour lunch break each day.

So total lunch break = 3 x 1/2 hours = 3/2 hours = 1.5 hours = 1 hour 30 minutes

Total working time = 9 hours 45 minutes + 9 hours 40 minutes + 8 hours

= 27 hours 25 minutes

For 1 hour the rate is $ 23

1 hour = $ 23

60 minutes = $ 23

1 minute = $ 23/60

Now we have to subtract the lunchtime from the total time.

Then,

Time for which he was paid = 27 hours 25 minutes - 1 hour 30 minutes

= 25 hours 55 minutes

So,

25 hours = $ 25 x 23 = $ 575

55 minutes = $ 55 x 23/60 = $ 21.08

Hence, the total money he was paid is = $ 575 + $ 21.08 = $ 596.08

Therefore the required answer is $ 596.08
