Answer:
a. $488
b. 12 hours at $18.30 = $219.60
c. $707.60
Step-by-step explanation:
a) You correctly computed Brown's straight-time pay. His pay is ...
40 hours at $12.20 per hour = $488
__
b) Brown's overtime pay is 1.5 times his straight-time pay per hour:
OT pay rate = 1.5 × $12.20 = $18.30 . . . per hour
The amount of overtime is 52 hours - 40 hours of straight time = 12 hours. Then the overtime pay is ...
12 hours at $18.30 per hour = $219.60
__
c) Brown's total pay is the sum of straight-time pay and overtime pay:
$488.00 +219.60 = $707.60 . . . total pay
