Question

Cam was offered a job. He was offered $13.50 per hour plus time-and-a-half for any hours he works over 40 hours in one week. What will Cam's gross salary be if he works 45 hours in one week? $540.00 $607.50 $641.25 $911.25

Answer 1

$641.25

Explanation:

Calculate Cam's regular pay, (40 × 13.50 = 540). Then, calculate his overtime pay hours (45 – 40 = 5). Multiply 13.50 × 11/2 = 20.25. Then, multiply 20.25 × 5 = 101.25. Add 101.25 to 540.00 to get Cam's weekly gross total.

Answer 2

It will be $641.25.
This is because:
(13.5 × 40) + (13.5 × 1.5 × 5) = 641.25.
