Given :
A college cafeteria pays student cashiers $540 per hour. Cashiers earn an additional $110 per hour for each hour worked over 35 hours per week.
To Find :
A cashier worked 39 hours one week and 37 hours the second week.
Show and explain to the cashier how her salary calculated in this two-week period.
Solution :
Week 1 :
For first 35 hours he will get fixed amount i.e $540.
Now, for next four hours he will get $110 per hour.
So, total salary, T = 540 + (110×(39 - 35)
T = $980
Week 2 :
Total salary, T = 540 + ( 110×( 37 - 35 ))
T = $760
Therefore, salary of two week period is $( 980 + 760 ) = $1740.
