Answer 1

Answer:

Western Deli

Kevin Alvarez's straight time pay = $408.96

Explanation:

Data and Calculations:

Straight time = 36 hours per week

Overtime hours worked = 6 hours

Total hours worked = 42 hours

Total pay for the week = $545.28

Rate of pay:

Straight time  =  Hourly rate

Overtime = Hourly rate x 2

Total hours paid = Straight time + 2 of Overtime = 36 + 12 = 48 hours

Hourly rate = $545.28/48 = $11.36

Therefore, Straight time pay = 36 x $11.36 = $408.96
