Question

At green deli employees earn double time for any hours worked in addition to their usual 40-hour week. Ester Klein worked 43 hours this week. Klein's regular hourly rate is $9.00 an hour. What is her total pay this week?

Answer 1

For the 40 hour week, they would be paid 40 multiplied by 9 which is 360. For the additional 3 hours they would be paid 18 dollars an hour, because its double.18 multiplied by 3 is 54. 360 + 54= 414. The answer is $414

Answer 2

$414.00

Explanation:

At green deli employees earn double time for their over time.

Klein's regular hourly rate = $9.00

So, her overtime rate = $9 × 2 = $18.00

Ester Klein worked 43 hours this week.

40 hours regular work + 3 hours overtime

Her total pay this week = (40 × 9) + (3 × 18)

= 360 + 54

= $414.00

Her total pay this week is $414.00
