Question

Malik Boykin is paid $8.20 per hour. and time and a half for any work over 40 hours

Answer 1

Pay of Malik Boykin:

Step 1:

Adding the total hours for each week:

Week of 3/10 = 5.5+6+9+12+7 = 39.5

Week of 3/17 = 8+8.5+9+13+4.5+4 = 47

Step 2:

Any sum of 40 hours or less gets multiplied by the hourly salary:

Week of 3/10: $39.5\times\ 8.20 = \ 323.90$ - That's the pay for that week

Week of 3/17: $40\times\ 8.20 = \ 328$

Step 3:

For hours worked over 40 the salary is 1.5 times the normal salary:

$\Rightarrow\ 8.20\times1.5 = \ 12.30$

Now multiply the hours over 40 for that week by the time and a half:

$\Rightarrow\ 12.30\times7 = \ 86.10$

And adding it to the $\ 328$ we get,

$\ 328+\ 86.10=\ 414.10$

Therefore,  Week of 3/10: $\bold{\ 323.90}$  and  Week of 3/17: $\bold{\ 414.10}$
