Answer 1

Answer:

The clerk's total earnings is P520.375

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Earnings = $45.25 per hour

Overtime = 1.5 * regular earnings

Holiday = double regular earnings

Required

Determine his earnings for 5 hours (overtime) and 2 hours (holiday)

From the question, we understand that

Regular Earnings = P45.25

Overtime Earnings = 1.5 * P45.25

Overtime Earnings = P67.875

Overtime Earnings for 5 hours = 5 * P67.875

Overtime Earnings for 5 hours = P339.375

Holiday Earnings = 2 * Regular Earnings

Holiday Earnings = 2 * P45.25

Holiday Earnings = P90.5

Holiday Earnings for 2 hours = 2 * P90.5

Holiday Earnings for 2 hours = P181.0

The clerk's total earnings is calculated as thus:

Total = Overtime Earnings for 5 hours + Holiday Earnings for 2 hours

Total = P339.375 + P181.0

Total = P520.375

Answer 2

Answer:

Php 2,479.75

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  45.5*40= 1,820.00

    45.50*1.5= 68.25

   45.5*2= 91.00

2.  68.25*3= 204.75

     91.00*5= 455.00

Therefore:

     Php 1,820.0+204.75+455.00 = 2,479.75
