Question

Joan is paid 11/2 hours for every hour she works on Saturday and 2 hours for every hour worked on Sunday; she is paid regular time for the rest of the week. How many hours will she be paid for if she works 40 hours during the week, 8 hours on Saturday, and 6 hours on Sunday?

Answer 1

Saturdays she gets 1 1/2 times,

She works 8 hours on Saturday,m 8 x 1 1/2 = 12 hours.

Sundays she gets 2 hours, she works 6 hours: 6 x 2 = 12 hours.

Total hours: 40 + 12 + 12 = 64 hours
