Question

Stefan Edward's pay is figured weekly, but is paid every two weeks. His pay is based on a 40-hour week at a regular-pay rate of $12.07 an hour with time-and-a-half for overtime. During the first week of a new pay period, Stefan worked 42.7 hours. In the second week of the pay period, he worked 44.6 hours. What was Stefan's total gross pay for these two weeks?

Answer 1

$1089.37

Explanation:

To calculate Stefan Edward's total gross pay for the two weeks, we need to first determine his regular pay and overtime pay for each week.

For week 1:

Regular pay = 40 hours x $12.07/hour = $482.80

Overtime pay = 2.7 hours x $12.07 x 1.5 = $47.23

Total pay for week 1 = $482.80 + $47.23 = $529.03

For week 2:

Regular pay = 40 hours x $12.07/hour = $482.80

Overtime pay = 4.6 hours x $12.07 x 1.5 = $77.54

Total pay for week 2 = $482.80 + $77.54 = $560.34

The total gross pay for the two weeks is:

$529.03 + $560.34 = $1089.37
