What is the unitary method?

The unitary method is a method for solving a problem by the first value of a single unit and then finding the value by multiplying the single value.

Gracie earns 17.25/h for a 37.5h week, plus extra for overtime.

For one hour she earns $17.25

For 37.5h she earns = 37.5h x 17.25

                                   = $646.87

The total money she earns = $646.87 + overtime pay

During store inventory, she worked 48.5h. Her gross earnings were $1,471.88.

= 48.5h x 17.25

= $836.625

So, $836.625 + overtime pay = $1,471.88

overtime pay = $1,471.88 - $836.625 = $635.06

Hence, Gracie’s overtime rate of pay would be $635.06.
