Hey if someone could tell me how to do these I would really appreciate it.. totally LOST!  I take online classes, so I don't exactly have a teacher or anything.

Units: 20 haircuts in 7 hours; Unit rate: $8.75; hours: 35; What are the estimated earnings?

One week Joe worked 38 1/2 hours and earned $115 in tips. If his weekly earnings totaled $275.85, what is his hourly rate?

Tour Guide: Annual Salary: $25,304.50; gross pay: $973.25; How long is the pay period?

Kevin Patel is a waiter at a local restaurant. He is payed $429 semimonthly.What is his annual salary?

Cheryl Nelms is a legal secretary. Her annual salary is $27,482. What is her biweekly pay?

Thanks a bunch in advance....

I get the feeling you're overthinking it a bit.  Take a step back and try to put things into an equation.  Take for example the first problem.  You have 20 haircuts in 7 hours.  The total amount of hours worked is 35 hours.  Now think, how many 7 hour periods are there in 35 hours?  When you know how many that is, simply find out how many haircuts are done in that span of time.  The unit price is up to you.

I hate when stupid prefixes are added to simple words. All it does is piss people off.

Hmm, so many confused people.  Seems pretty easy to me.  Then again, I do have to work my monthly budget out to figure out where my paycheck money is going.

Michael Ironside should clean it up. He's the one who caused it. :|
