Question

Bryan earns $11.80 per hour. He is paid time and a half for hours worked over 8 hours in a day. Yesterday Bryan worked 9.25 hours. What was Bryan's total pay for yesterday?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$116.53

Step-by-step explanation:

Bryan earn's 11.80 per hour. He is paid time and a half for hours worked over 8hrs in a day. So if you divide 11.80 by 2, you get 5.90.

11.80+5.90=17.70. This is the amount he gets paid if he works overtime.

If Bryan worked 9.25 hrs yesterday, we already know that he made $94.40 in 8 hours. We have to find the amount he got paid for working over time.

The remaining hours are 1.25. We can add $17.70 to 94.40 to get 112.10. Now we have to figure out the remainder which is a quarter of an hour. Multiply 17.70 by .25 and you will get 4.43.

The total amount he got paid for working over time was $116.53.
