In that question where we had to calculate the money received by the working girl starting from 7:45 am to I dunno when. According to my calculation 8 whole hours came. I multiplied 8 with the amount in dollars mentioned. Did I do it right?

I've already mentioned this in another thread and I'll say it once more:
Don't plan to spoil everyone's hopes, but just so you know, the wage of $7.60 was for each HOUR worked. The girl wasn't going to get paid for the quarter hour she worked after 8 hours. Simply, the wage was 7.60×8=$60.8.
I've done questions like these multiple times and the examiner has always stressed to take whole numbers if the pay is on an hourly basis.

They mentioned that wage was $7.6 per hour. It was not told that she was paid only after she completed an hour at work
