A nurse working at the hospital earns $22 per hour. She worked two 12-hour shifts and two 8-hour shifts during the week. How much did she earn for the week?

  • A. $960
  • B. $1,080
  • C. $990
  • D. $880
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The nurse worked a total of 40 hours (2 x 12 hours + 2 x 8 hours) during the week. Multiplying 40 hours by her hourly rate of $22 gives a total earning of $960 for the week. Therefore, the correct answer is $960. Choice B ($1,080) is incorrect because it miscalculates the earnings by adding extra hours. Choice C ($990) is incorrect as it does not account for the correct number of hours worked. Choice D ($880) is incorrect as it underestimates the total earnings by not considering all hours worked.
