What is the total number of working hours paid if a crew works 10 hours on the first day and 8 hours on the following days, excluding Sunday, over a Friday to Tuesday job?

To determine the total number of working hours paid for the crew from Friday to Tuesday, we need to break down the hours worked each day based on the scenario provided.

1. Friday: The crew works 10 hours.

2. Saturday: The crew works 8 hours.

3. Sunday: The crew does not work, so no hours are counted.

4. Monday: The crew works 8 hours.

5. Tuesday: The crew works 8 hours.

Now, we total the hours worked:

• Friday: 10 hours

• Saturday: 8 hours

• Monday: 8 hours

• Tuesday: 8 hours

Adding these together:

10 hours (Friday) + 8 hours (Saturday) + 8 hours (Monday) + 8 hours (Tuesday) = 34 hours worked total.

However, the answers provided seem to imply a misunderstanding in calculating the context of total hours, possibly considering a larger crew or number of total hours for the entire job. The correct calculation for the total working hours for a single worker is accurate, but if this number were to reflect the hours for multiple crew members over the specified days, it could account for the higher totals reflected in the answer choices.
