Question

Please help. I think I know but I'd like to have it confirmed.

G. Foreman is paid $10.50 an hour for a 40-hour week plus time-and-a-half overtime.

Two part question:
-How much is he normally paid? and
-If he works 40-hours plus 5 hours overtime, how much did he earn?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Part 1

`40 * 10.5 = 402`
Part 2

`40 * 10.5 + 5 * 1.5 * 10.5 \\ = 402 + 78.75 \\ = 480.75`
