Jan Quint earns $11.00 an hour at her job and is entitled to time-and-a-half for overtime, and double time on holidays. Last week she worked 40 hours for regular time, 9 hours of overtime, and 12 hours of holiday time. How much did she earn last week?

A.) $612.00
B.) $852.50
C.) $803.00
D.) $720.50

Answer 1

B) 852.50 because 11/2= 5.5 ... (16.5x9)+(40x11)+(12x22)=$852.50

Answer 2

Option B). $852.50

Explanation:

Jan Quint earns for normal hours = $11.00 an hour

She earns for overtime = 1.5 times of normal hours = 11×1.5 = $16.5 an hour

On holidays = 2 times of the normal hours = 2×11 = $22 an hour

Now we will calculate her earnings if she works for 40 hours for regular time, 9 hours of overtime and 12 hours of holiday time

Total earnings = 11×40 + 16.5×9 + 22×12 = 440 + 148.5 + 264 = $852.50

Option B). is the answer.
