Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. reg pay: 8.96,week days: 1.5 overtime pay, sat: double pay, sun: triple pay

38 hrs regular pay : 38 * 8.96 = 340.48

15 hrs overtime during week : 15 * 1.5(8.96) = 15 * 13.44 = 201.60

3 hrs overtime on saturday: 3 * 2(8.96) = 3 * 17.92 = 53.76

2 hrs overtime on sunday: 2 * 3(8.96) = 2 * 26.88 = 53.76

Gross wage = (340.48 + 201.60 + 2(53.76) = 649.60 <====

===============================

2. reg pay : 14.60, weekday pay: 1.25,sat pay: 1.5 , sun pay: double

(a) basic wage = 40(14.60) = 584 <==

(b) overtime wage : 15 * 1.25(14.60) + 6 * 1.5(14.60) + 5 * 2(14.60) = (15 * 18.25) + (6 * 21.9) + (5 * 29.2) = 273.75 + 131.40 + 146 = 551.15 <==

(c) gross wage : 584 + 551.15 = 1135.15 <==

================================

3. basic work wk: 40 hrs...earned 518...overtime 148

(a) basic pay rate : (518 - 148) / 40 = 370/40 = 9.25 per hr <==

(b) if overtime is paid for at double time.....so overtime pay is (2 * 9.25) = 18.50 per hr....and he got paid 148....148/18.5 = 8 hrs <==
