Question

4. Odette Alverez works at the Digitech Warehouse eight hours a day, earning $9.48 an hour. She is asked to work two additional hours at time and a half to help prepare for an incoming shipment of merchandise. How much will she earn for these two hours of overtime?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$28.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Time and a half is the normal rate of pay when working overtime at any job and is calculated as 1.5 times the regularly hourly wage of the employee. Therefore we can calculate how much she earns per hour of overtime by doing the following...

$9.48 * 1.5 = $14.22 per hour

Now we can see that Odette earns $14.22 per hour of overtime, since she worked two hours we simply multiply this amount by 2.

$14.22 * 2 = $28.44

Odette Alvarez earned $28.44 for the two hours of overtime.
