Answer:
a) $720.00
b) $882.00
Explanation:
For part a) Shawna works 40 hours at $18.00 per hour.
Multiply to find the amount of money she made that week.
40 hrs × $18/hr
= 40 × 18
= 720
Shawna made $720.00
For part b) we can use the answer for part a, but she worked 6 hours more beyond the fulltime 40 hours. The 6 additional hours should be paid as overtime.
Her regular rate is $18/hr. Her overtime rate is "time-and-a-half" Multiply to find that pay rate.
18 × 1.5
= 27
For overtime, Shawna will earn $27/hour.
SO now part b)
She worked 46 hours.
40 × 18 = 720 and
6 × 27 = 162
Regular pay + overtime
= 720 + 162
= 882
Shawna will earn $882.00
(** if you have been studying basic math or basic algebra, this calculation totally works. But if you have been studying labor laws and intricasies of payroll processing, it could be that there is not enough information.)
