Question

Ben is paid £12.40 per hour.

If he works for more than 9 hours in a day, he is paid overtime for the additional hours at a rate of 1.2 times his normal rate of pay.
Yesterday, Ben worked for 12 hours.
How much money did he earn?

Answer 1

Answer:

£156.24

Explanation:

Ben worked for 12 hours.

Total = Normal working hours + overtime working hours

12 hours = 9 hours + 3 hours

Ben is paid £12.40 per hour(normal working hours)

he is paid overtime for the additional hours at a rate of 1.2 times his normal rate of pay.

Amount earned Overtime = 1.2 × £12.40

= £14.88

Total amount earned for 12 hours of work = 9(£12.40) + 3(£14.88)

= £111.60 + £44.64

= £156.24

Total amount earned for 12 hours of work = £156.24
