Answer 1

I’ll put two answers depending on over time.
(Over time is Half normal pay)
Reg: 320 Over time: 20 gross: 340
(Over time is 1.5 Times normal pay)
Reg: 320 overtime: 60 gross: 380

Answer 2

Gross pay for the week $440

Explanation:

He is paid for his regular hours = $8.00 per hour

regular hours = 40 hours per week

payment for his over time hours = 8.00 × 1.5 = $12.00

He work 50 hours in one week.

40 regular hours and 10 hours over time.

His pay for the week = (40 × 8) + (10 × 12)

= 320 + 120

= $440

His gross pay for the week is $440
