Question

Christopher earns $5.80 an hour and time-and-a-half for all hours worked over 40 hours. How much did he earn the week he worked 44.5 hours?

Answer 1

$271.15

Explanation:

Assuming that "time-and-a-half for all hours worked over 40 hours" means that all time spent past that is 1.5X the paycheck, then its 40 times 5.80=$232. then (5.8 times 1.5) times 4.5 = $39.15
$232+$39.15=$271.15
