Question

Pete worked 44 hours and 30 minutes on his new job. He makes $9.86 per hour. For each hour of overtime, he earns time and a half. How much will he earn for one week?

Answer 1

Answer:

$460.955 ≈ $460.96  

Step-by-step explanation:

A work week is 8 hours × 5 days = 40 hours per week.   Pete worked 44 hours and 30 minutes which is 44.5 hours.  This tells you that Pete worked 40 hours at regular paid and 4.5 hours of overtime at a rate is his amount per hour plus half of his amount per hour). So Pete earns $14.79 per hour for overtime rate  ($9.86 + $4.93 = $14.79) .

Earning for the week:  40 × $9.86 + 4.5 × $14.79

                                  = $394.40 + $66.555

                                  =  $460.955 ≈ $460.96  

                                 

Answer 2

The question did not associate anything with the overtime so, I believe the answer is 416.24
