Answer 1

Given :

A clerk is paid $45.25 per hours for 40 hours a week, 1.50 times the regular rate of overtime and double the rate for a holiday.

To Find :

How much does the clerk get if he works overtime for 5 hours and 2 hours on holidays.

Solution :

Amount from regular job = $ 45.25 × 40 = $1810 .

Amount from overtime = $ (45.25×1.5) × 5 = $339.375 .

Amount from holiday = $ (45.25×2) × 5 = $452.5 .

Total amount clerk will get is :

T = $( 1810 + 339.375 + 452.5 )

T = $2601.875

Hence, this is the required solution.
