Question

Rick James is paid $18.00 an hour as a pastry chef for a regular 35-hour week. His overtime rate is 1.5 times his regular hourly rate. This week he worked his regular 35 hours plus 8 hours of overtime. What is his total pay for the week?

Answer 1

Total = Regular + Overtime
Total = ($18.00/hr)(35hr) + ($18.00/hr)(1.5)(8hr)
Total = $630 + $216
Total = $846
