We are given : Rate for regular pay = $12 per hour.
Rate for over time = $12 and a half rate of $12, that is 12+ 12/2 =12+6= $18 per hour.
We need to find the total pay for 40 hours of regular time and 10 hours of overtime.
<em>Pay for 40 hours at the rate $12 per hour = 40 × 12 = $480.</em>
<em>Pay for 10 hours of overtime at the rate $18 per hour = 10 × 18 = $180. </em>
Total payment for 40 hours of regular time and 10 hours of overtime = 480 + 180=$660.
<h3>Therefore total pay or 40 hours of regular time and 10 hours of overtime is $660.</h3>
