Question

G=h(t) + 1.5 (h)(o) is an equation that represents the gross pay when working overtime: Gross pay = hourly wage (time worked) + 1.5 (hourly wage)(overtime hours)

Evaluate G=h(t) + 1.5 (h)(o) if h=$7.15, t=40 hours, and o=8.

Answer 1

371.80

Step-by-step explanation: I took the test

Answer 2

`G=\$371.80`

Explanation:

Let

h -----> the hourly wage

t ------> time worked in hours

o -----> overtime in hours

G ----->Gross pay

we have

`G=h(t)+1.5(h)(o)`

Evaluate G for

`h=\$7.15\ per\ hour\\t=40\ h\\o=8\ h`

substitute the value of h, t and o in the equation and solve for G

`G=7.15(40)+1.5(7.15)(8)`

`G=\$371.80`
