Answer 1

Answer:

Part a) The straight-time pay is $\ 1,332$

Part b) The overtime  pay is $\ 432$

Part c) The total pay is $\\ 1,764$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) What is his straight-time  pay?

To find out his straight-time  pay multiply the hourly rate of $36 by 37 hours worked

so

$(36)(37)=\ 1,332$

Part b) What is his overtime  pay?

we know that

The hourly rate for overtime is equal to

$(1.5)(36)=\ 54$

so

Multiply the hourly rate for overtime by the number of hours overtime

$(54)(8)=\ 432$

Part c) What is his total pay?

we know that

The total pay is equal to sum the straight-time  pay plus the overtime  pay

$\ 1,332+\ 432=\ 1,764$
