Question

Matthew pays his employees $15 per hour for a 40 hour week and pays overtime at a rate of time and a half for hours over 40 hours in the same week. If Sophia works 45 hours this week, calculate what her gross wages will be.

A
$ 675.00
B
$ 712.50
C
$ 900.00
D
$ 1,012.50

Answer 1

B. 712.50

40hrs x $15/hr= $600

5hrs OT x time & a half pay ($22.50)= $112.50

$600 + $112.50= $712.50
