Can someone help me with my Math Lab homework?

I am working on my math lab homework, and I am stuck on a question.

Q: Cashiers earn $5.35 per hour at Happy’s Pizzeria. Brenda works 5 hours per day, 3 days a week. Mike works 4 hours per day, 3 days a week. About how much more does Brenda earn than Mike in a week?

Please show all the steps and how you got your answer.

Multiply the number of hours worked times the number of days, then multiply that times the $5.35. Subtract Brenda’s total minus Mike’s total.

Brenda: 5 x $5.35=26.75×3=80.25

Mike: 4x$5.35=21.40×3=$64.20

Brenda makes 16.05 more a week or $5.35 more/day

brenda makes (5.35)(5)=$26.75 daily

Mike makes (5.35)(4)=$21.40 daily

brenda makes (26.75)(3)=$80.25 weekly

mike makes (21.40)(3)=$64.20 weekly

$80.25-$64.20=$16.05

Brenda makes about $16 more than mike

Brenda:

5.35x5x3

26.75×3

80.25

Mike:

5.35x4x3

21.40×3

64.20

80.25-64.20= $16.05
