Answer 1

Answer:

His overtime wage = $18.75

Total wages for one day = $118.75

Explanation:

Given,

He worked from - 9:00 am (Internationally - 9:00)

He stopped at - 7:00 pm (Internationally - 19:00)

Therefore, he worked for = (19:00 - 9:00) = 10 hours

Again,

He had unpaid 45 minute lunch break

He had unpaid 15 minute break

Total unpaid time = (45 + 15) minutes = 1 hour.

Therefore, he will be paid for = 9 hours

Again,

His normal wage = $12.50 per hour

His overtime wage = 1.5 times of his normal salary = $12.50*1.5 = $18.75

Since he worked more than 8 hours, he worked 1 overtime hour. Therefore,

(8 hours x $12.50) + (1 hour x $18.75) = $118.75
