Question

1. As a manager at Starbucks, Sarah Brynski hires, schedules, and oversees employees. She must also make sure each is paid the correct amount. Occasionally, she authorizes overtime when a scheduled employee does not show up. However, she tries to use as little overtime as possible to help control costs. A tire installer at the Tire Center is paid $10.50 per hour for an 8-hour day or $3.20 per tire installed, whichever is higher. Find the weekly earnings for an employee having the following rate of production. Monday 32 tires Tuesday 24 tires Wednesday 34 tires Thursday 22 tires Friday 33 tires

Answer 1

The weekly earnings of this employee would be $358 per tire installed and $420 per total weekly hour per spent.

Solution

To get the total weekly earnings per tire installed, we simply employ multiplication. That is, we multiply, $3.20 * per tire installed daily and then sum up the total for the 5 days work period.

• Monday: 32 * $3.2 = $102.4
• Tuesday: 24 * $3.2 = $76.4
• Wednesday: 34 * $3.2 = $108.8
• Thursday: * $3.2 = $70.4
• Friday: 33 * $3.2 = $105.6

Total: $358

Meanwhile, we get the total weekly earnings using the "per hour for an 8-hour day" calculation by multiplying by 5 days.

8 *5 = 40

40 hours per week * $10.50 per hour = $420
