Hoped it helps

The total amount of money that George would earn is $81.38.

What is the total income ?

The first step is to determine the total hours George worked for:

(12 + 3:30) - 7am

15 : 30 - 7 = 8:30 minutes

The second step is to subtract the time he took for break: 8 : 30 - 45 minutes = 7: 45 minutes

Now, multiply the hourly wage by the total hours he worked for

7 : 45 x 10.50

Convert 45 minutes to a fraction of an hour : 45/60 = 3/4

7 3/4 x $10.50

31 /4 x $10.50 = $81.38
