conversations.value: I'm stuck on this math problem: Josh works 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 4 weeks a month. Carl is an intern and works 2 hours less than Josh every day. Josh gets $9 an hour and Carl, half that. How much does the company pay for the 2 together in one month?
  Can you help?

conversations.value: Josh works 8 hours/day * 5 days/week * 4 weeks/month = 160 hours a month.
  He earns 160 hours/month * $9/month = $1440 per month.
  Carl works less because he is an intern: 6 hours/day * 5 days/week * 4 weeks/month = 120 hours per month.
  Carl earns 120 hours * $4.5/hour = $540 per month.
  The company pays for the 2 together: $1440 + $540 = $1980.
