Definition: Some workers are paid by piecework, that is, they are paid based on each unit they produce or sell. Earnings may be based on salary plus piecework or straight piecework

Practice

1) Al works part time at a large sports facility selling magazines. He is paid by piecework. He earns $15 per game plus 30¢ for each magazine he sells. Find Al’s total earnings when he sells 113 magazines at one game.

Step 1: Calculate his piecework earnings

Step 2: Calculate his total earnings

2) Mary builds wheelbarrows. One day she builds 100 wheelbarrows and is paid

$2.50 per wheelbarrow.

a)            What are her earnings?

b)            If she builds 100 wheelbarrows for 20 straight workdays, what are her earnings during this time?

c)            Mary works 100 days a year. If she makes the same number of wheelbarrows each day, how much will she earn in a year?

3) Mary Beth is paid 9¢ for each envelope she stuffs. One week she was able to stuff 3276 envelopes.  What was Mary Beth’s pay for the week?

Earnings =  Piece rate × # of items
