A retail store wants to hire 50 new phone reps to assist with the increased call volume that they will experience over the holiday.  Each phone rep will work 8 hours a day and will be paid $14.00 an hour.  After 5 days, how much will the company pay all 50 new employees?
There are 50 reps and they will work 8 hour days so that's 50*8 = <<50*8=400>>400 hours
They will work 5 days a week so that's 5*400 = <<5*400=2000>>2,000 hours
Each worker will be paid $14.00 an hour and in 5 days they will have worked 2,000 hours so that's 14*2000 = $<<14*2000=28000>>28,000
