Question

8. You are a computer technician for Data Control. You earn a regular hourly

rate of $15.40. You earn time and a half for overtime work on Saturdays and
double time on Sundays. This week you worked 38 hours from Monday
through Friday, 8 hours on Saturday, and 5 hours on Sunday. What is your
total pay for the week?

Answer 1

Total pay for the week is $924.

Explanation:

The per hour rate of weekdays from Monday to Friday = $15.40

The rate for Saturday = One and Half ( $15.40)

Now,
`1(1)/(2)  * (15.40)  = (3)/(2) (15.40) = 23.1`

So, the per hourly rate for work on Saturday = $23.1

The rate for Sunday = 2 x ( $15.40) = $30.80

So, the per hourly rate for work on Sunday = $30.80

Now, total hours worked in weekday = 38

So, the rate of 38 hours = 38 x ( Per hour rate) = 38 x ($15.40)

= $585.2

Now, total hours worked on Saturday = 8

So, the rate of 8 hours = 8 x ( Per hour rate) = 8 x ($23.1) = $184.8

Now, total hours worked on Sunday = 5

So, the rate of 5 hours = 5 x ( Per hour rate) = 5 x ($30.80) = $154

Hence the total pay = Payment of ( weekday + Saturday +Sunday)

= $585.2 + $184.8 + $154 = $924

Hence, total pay for the week is $924.
