If a landscaper makes $25/hour and worked 20 hours, while a bookkeeper makes $15/hour and worked 20 hours, what is Dragonfly Landscapers' total payroll?

To determine Dragonfly Landscapers' total payroll, we need to calculate the earnings of both the landscaper and the bookkeeper for the total hours worked.

The landscaper earns $25 per hour and worked 20 hours, so we calculate the landscaper's total earnings as follows:

Landscaper's earnings = Hourly wage × Hours worked Landscaper's earnings = $25/hour × 20 hours = $500

The bookkeeper earns $15 per hour and also worked 20 hours, so we calculate the bookkeeper's total earnings:

Bookkeeper's earnings = Hourly wage × Hours worked Bookkeeper's earnings = $15/hour × 20 hours = $300

To find the total payroll for Dragonfly Landscapers, we need to add both earnings together:

Total payroll = Landscaper's earnings + Bookkeeper's earnings Total payroll = $500 + $300 = $800

Thus, the total payroll for Dragonfly Landscapers is $800. This is why the correct answer is the option that represents this total amount.
