Question

Cory earns $9.50 per hour for the first 40 hours he works in a week. For any hours over 40 hours per week, his hourly rate is multiplied by 1.5. How much does he earn is he works for 43.5 hours in one week?

Answer 1

Answer:

429.88

Step-by-step explanation:

The first 40 hours is at 9.50

40 *9.50 =380

The remaining hours is at 9.50 * 1.5 or 14.25

43.5 -40 = 3.5

3.5 * 14.25

49.875 = 49.88  ( rounding to the nearest cent)

Add together

380+49.88 =429.88
