Answer:
$26.70/hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's look at 1 day.
She works a 12 hour shift. For the first 8 hours, she receives her regular hourly salary. That means 8 hours of pay at her regular hourly salary.
Then she works another 4 hours at her overtime pay. Her overtime pay is twice her regular salary, so the extra 4 hours at overtime pay are paid as if they were 8 hours of regular work. In effect, she is earning 16 hours of regular pay per day.
Monday through Friday means 5 days of work per week.
5 days/week * 16 hours/day = 80 hours/week
She is earning as if she were working 80 hours of regular pay per week.
base salary = (gross weekly income)/(effective number of hours in 1 week)
base salary = $2136/80
base salary = $26.70/hour
