Question

Clint earns $25.50 per hour as a mechanic. He is paid time-and-a-half for working more than 8 hours per day. Yesterday, he worked 11.5 hours. What is his gross pay for the day?

Answer 1

439.87

Explanation:

Time and a half is the original hourly rate plus half of that. Being that Clint's hourly rate is $25.50, you will add $12.75 to that because that is half of 25.50. So for the 11.5 hours worked, Clint's gross pay comes out to be $439.87. First figure out time and a half as shown above. Next, multiply time and a half by the number of hours worked on said day. You then have the answer for what is Clint's gross pay.
