Question

If sally works Saturday for 4 hours and is given overtime hourly wage at 1.5 , how much will she make that week ?

Answer 1

Since she receives 1.5 times more for overtime, because she was working on saturday, then her hourly wage for those days is:

`\text{wage}=1.5\cdot15=22.5`

She worked a total of four hours on that saturday, therefore to find the amount she made that day we need to multiply the time she worked by her hourly wage.

`\text{salary=22.5}\cdot4=90`

She made $90 on that day. The total amount she made that week is:

`\text{sallary = 90+}525=615`

She made $615 that week.
