Question

If Joe earns $25 per hour during a normal week (40 hours per week), but earns $37.50 per overtime, how much does he earn in 48 hours?

Answer 1

1300

Explanation:

Regular time is 40 hours at 25 dollars per hour

Regular pay is 40*25 = 1000

He worked 48 hours, 48-40 =8, so he worked 8 hours overtime

8 hours at 37.50 overtime pay

8*37.50=300

His total pay is regular pay plus overtime pay

1000+300 = 1300
