Question

Matt gets paid an hourly rate of $12.50 for the first 40 hours he works in a week. After 40 hours , Matt gets paid at an overtime rate $15 per hour and receives a $100 bonus for every additional 10 hours that he works after the initial 40 hours. How much will Matt get paid this week if he works 55 hours ?

Answer 1

12.50 x 40 = 500; this is his first week pay from $12.50 an hour for 40 hours

(15 x 55) + 100 = 925; this is the second pay from $15 an hour for 55 hours and an additional $100

Hope this helps! (If not correct me if its wrong xd)
