Question

Cheryl workers 43.75 hours this week at a rate of $8.15 per hour. She gets paid overtime(time and a half) for any hours over 40. What is cheryls total pay before taxes

Answer 1

371.84$

Explanation:

Normal hourly rate = $8.15 per hour

Overtime rate = time and a half = 1.5 x normal hourly rate = 1.5 x $8.15 = $12.23 per hour

Given that she works 43.75 hours,

= 40 normal hours + 3.75 Overtime

Total Pay,

= (40 x normal rate) + (3.75 x Overtime rate)

= (40 x $8.15) + (3.75 x $12.23)

= $326 + $45.84

= $371.84
