Answer 1

Ahmed earned £198.00 on that weekend.

Explanation:

Given that:

Normal hourly pay = £12.00

Overtime pay =
`1(1)/(4)` of normal rate

Overtime pay per hour =
`(5)/(4)*12`

Overtime pay per hour = £15.00

Hours worked on Saturday = 9 hours

Amount earned on Saturday = 9*12 = £108.00

Hours worked on Sunday = 6 hours

Amount earned on Sunday = 6*15 = £90.00

Total amount earned on weekend = 108+90 = £198.00

Hence,

Ahmed earned £198.00 on that weekend.
