Question

Jesse earns $12.62 an hour, plus she earns overtime for hours exceeding 40 hours per week. What is her gross weekly pay for working 47 hours if she gets time and a half for overtime?
A) $541.73
B) $600.14
C) $637.31
D) $849.71

**NOTE: My answer choice is d

Answer 1

The correct answer is c) $637.31

12.62 x 40 = 504.8

time and a half is the amount you get paid + half the amount you get paid 

so half of 12.62 is 6.31 + 12.62 = 18.93

18.93 x 7 = 132.51

504.8 + 132.51 = 637.31
