Question

Malik Boykin is paid $8.20 per hour. and time and a half for any work over 40 hours

Answer 1

Pay of Malik Boykin:

Step 1:

Adding the total hours for each week:

Week of 3/10 = 5.5+6+9+12+7 = 39.5

Week of 3/17 = 8+8.5+9+13+4.5+4 = 47

Step 2:

Any sum of 40 hours or less gets multiplied by the hourly salary:

Week of 3/10:
`39.5*\$8.20 = \$323.90` - That's the pay for that week

Week of 3/17:
`40*\$8.20 = \$328`

Step 3:

For hours worked over 40 the salary is 1.5 times the normal salary:

`\Rightarrow\$8.20*1.5 = \$12.30`

Now multiply the hours over 40 for that week by the time and a half:

`\Rightarrow\$12.30*7 = \$86.10`

And adding it to the
`\$328` we get,

`\$328+\$86.10=\$414.10`

Therefore, Week of 3/10:
`\bold{\$323.90}` and Week of 3/17:
`\bold{\$414.10}`
