Question

Cathy is paid at a rate of K7.20 per hour for a basic hour-week of 70 hours. She is paid time-and-a-half for over-time during the week, and double-time on weekends. In a fortnight she worked 160 hours, and 4 hours on Saturday and 2 hours on Sunday.​

Answer 1

Answer:

K1310.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Basic pay per hour = K7.20

Overtime pay during the week per hour = 1 1/2 * K7. 20 = K10.8

Weekends = 2 * K7.20 = K14.4

Basic hours per week = 70 hours

In a fortnight :

Basic hours = 70 * 2 = 140 hours :

Hence, Overtime during the week = (160 - 140) = 20 hours

Weekend hours = (4 +2) = 6 hours

Total earning :

(140 * 7.20) + (20 * 10.8) + (6 * 14.4)

1008 + 216 + 86.4

= K1310.4
