Question

Amy regularly works 25 hours per week at Pook's Dry Cleaners from Monday through Friday. She earns $15 per hour and receives double time pay for working on Sundays. Next week she will work her regular 25 weekday hours and an additional 8 hours on Sunday. What will her total pay be for the week? (Enter your answer without commas or $)​

Answer 1

15.50 x 20 = $310

31 x 8 = $248

310 + 248 = $558

Her total pay for the week is $558.

So Glad I Could Help!

Answer 2

She works 25 hours a week and earns 15 dollars each hour, so she earns 25 x 15 dollars a week, which is 375 dollars, since her regular hours are weekday hours, which are not on sunday.

If she works an additional 8 hours on Sunday, however, she will make double pay, so she will earn 30 dollars an hour. 30 x 8 = 240.

240 + 375 = 615 dollars.

The answer is 615.

Hope this helps.
