Question

tom works for a manufacturing plant and makes $7.00 per hour. Last week he worked 49 hours.for the hours above 40,he receives time-and-a-half. what did tom earn last week?

Answer 1

Well due to my calculations Tom should have gotten 311.5 dollars last week.

40×7=280
7÷2=3.5
9×3.5=31.5
31.5+280=311.5

Or You could do this
(40×7)+(3.5×9)=311.5
