Question

Tommy Richards is paid $20.50 an hour for a regular 40-hour week. He earns time and a half if he works overtime. This week Richards worked his regular 40 hours plus 9 hours of overtime. What is his total pay

Answer 1

Answer:

$1,094.50

Explanation:

Regular pay is $20.50

Over time pay is $20.50 x 1.5 = $30.75

Tommy earned as follows.

Regular hours : 40 x $20.50 = $820

Overtime hours: 9 x $30.75 =$274.50

Total amount earned

= $820 + $274.50

=$1,094.50
