Question

Rufus works an average of 46 hours each week. He gets paid $5.70 perhour and time-and-a-half for all hours over 40 hours. What is his annualincome?a. $14,523.60b. $11,856c. $25,650d. $2,667.60

Answer 1

At first let us find his income in one week, then multiply it by the number of weeks in a year

Since he gets paid $5.70 per hour for the first 40 hours

Then he gets paid 1.5 x $5.70 for more than 40 hours

Since he works for 46 hours per week, then

He gets paid = 40 x 5.70 + 6 x 1.5 x 5.70

His salary per week = 228 + 51.3 = $279.3

Now let us find how many weeks in a year

Since there are 365 days in a year

Since there are 7 days in a week

Then the number of weeks per year = 365/7 = 52.14

Then approximately, there are 52 weeks in a year

His annual income = 52 x 279.3 = $14523.60

The answer is A
