Question

Calculating overtime pay

Answer 1

Answer:

Hourly pay rate x 1.5 x hours worked overtime.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, if you had an hourly wage of $10, you would first:

Start with the $10 owed. Then:

Multiply your hourly pay by 1.5 to get $15.

Lastly, multiply this number by how many hours you worked overtime. Let's say you work 5 hours overtime. Multiply the $15 by the 5 hours worked overtime, and you should get $75.

An equation to help you solve this could look something like this:

Y*1.5*O=T, where the variable "Y" is hours works, the variable "O" is the hours worked overtime, and the variable "T" is the total amount of money earned for working overtime.
