Question

A public health nurse gets paid $26 per hour for each regular working hour and gets

paid time and a half when she works overtime. Last week, she worked 40 regular hours
and 4 overtime hours. Calculate her total pay for last week.

Answer 1

$1,196

Explanation:

Find overtime pay:

$26 × 1.5 = $39

Calculate total pay for regular hours:

$26 × 40 = $1,040

Calculate total pay for overtime:

$39 × 4 = $156

Add together:

$1,040 + $156 = $1,196

Answer 2

1196 is her pay for the week
