Question

Anna is paid $15.00 per hour. She works a long 12 hour shift, the last 4 hours being paid a double time pay rate.

Answer 1

Answer: $\Large\boxed{Wage=\ 240}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information

Paid = $15.00 / hour

Paid (Last 4 hours) = Doubled the usual pay rate

Total hour = 12 hours

Given expression

Wage = Pay rate × hours except for the last 4 hours + Double Pay rate × 4 hours

Substitute values into the expression

Wage = (15) × (12 - 4) + (15 × 2) × (4)

Simplify values in the parenthesis

Wage = 15 × 8 + 30 × 4

Simplify by multiplication

Wage = 120 + 120

Simplify by addition

$\Large\boxed{Wage=\ 240}$

Hope this helps!! :)
