Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If Lee wraps 13 gifts, her pay would be $3.25 x 13 = $42.25. However, since her pay is rounded to the nearest quarter, it would be rounded down to $42.00. Therefore, her gross earnings would be $42.00 - 0.75 (the amount that was rounded down) = $41.25. Lee wrapped 13 gifts, so she earns 13 * $3.15 = $40.95.
