$28.8       $18.8          225.6          $56.4        $282

You multiply $7.20 by the 4 hours she's working and you'll get $28.80. Then you would subtract the $10 from your answer and get $18.80. Then you'd multiply $18.80 by 12 for the mouths she's working and get $225.60. Next you multiply $225.60 by .25 from the grandparents and get $56.40. Finally you add $225.60 to $56.40 and get $282 in her savings account.
