Answer:

Your straight-time pay is $195.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Employee  Regular  Hourly Rate  х  Hours  Worked   = Straight-Time  Pay

Wright, S.             $8.00         36

Reardon, E.            7.50         18

Levitt, R.               16.20         30

Maguire, M.         10.25       243

Reyes, A.             14.525        31.125

Vadola, G.          26.675         25.625

b) If you earn $6.50 per hour and work 30 hours this week, your straight-time pay is $195 ($6.50 * 30).  The straight-time pay is determined by multiplying  the number of hours worked in a period by the hourly rate.
