Question

Liam is paid $25/hr at full rate, and $18/hr at a reduced rate. The hours of work are paid at a ratio of 3:1, full rate : reduced rate. For example, if he worked 4 hours, he would be paid 3 hours at full rate and 1 hour at reduced rate. Calculate his pay for 6 hours of work.

Answer 1

4h30min full rate and 1h30 min reduced rate

So, for 6h of work Liam is owed $ 9×25/2+3×18/2=225/2+32=144.5
