Answer: he earned $344 in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

When he does work outdoors he earns $12 an hour. This means that if he works outdoors for x hours, he would earn $12x

When he works indoors he earns $8 an hour. This means that if he works indoors for y hours, he would earn $8y.

Last month he worked 18 hours outdoors. This means that the total amount that he earned working outdoors is

12 * 18 = $216

He worked 16 hours indoors. This means that the total amount that he earned working indoors is

8 * 16 = $128

Total amount that he earned is

216 + 128 = $344
