Question

suppose you worked 45 hours at a rate of $7.25 per hour plus overtime pay for any hours over 40. you also received a 2% commission on the $800 of china tableware you sold .your paycheck lists $324.25 as your gross earnings. is that correct?

Answer 1

I think yes or No because I don’t really know

Answer 2

No, your paycheck is incorrect. Here is why:

40x 7.25= $290.00 (base salary)

5x 10.875= 54.38 (overtime)

.02x 800= 16.00 (commission)

$360.38 (gross salary)
