Answer:
R18,801 + R3,996 = R22,797 per month.
Explanation:
To calculate the amount of money that the tanker driver receives per day during weekdays, we need to consider the number of hours worked on each weekday and the rate per hour. The driver works for 5% days per week, so there are 5 weekdays and 1 half-day on Saturdays.
On weekdays (Monday to Friday), the driver works for 9 hours per day, so the daily pay is:
9 hours x R92.50 per hour = R832.50 per day
On Saturdays, the driver works for a half-day (4.5 hours) and the rate of pay is doubled, so the pay for the half-day is:
4.5 hours x R92.50 per hour x 2 = R832.50
Therefore, the total pay for the 5 weekdays and 1 half-day on Saturday is:
5 x R832.50 + R832.50 = R4,162.50
So, the driver receives R4,162.50 per week for working 5 weekdays and 1 half-day on Saturdays.
To calculate the amount of money that the driver receives per day during weekdays, we divide the weekly pay by the number of weekdays:
R4,162.50 / 5 = R832.50 per day
Therefore, the driver receives R832.50 per day during weekdays.
2.2 To determine the total number of hours that the driver worked in March 2022, we need to know the number of weekdays and Saturdays in March. There are typically 22 weekdays in March, so the driver works for:
22 weekdays x 9 hours per day = 198 hours on weekdays
In addition, there are typically 4 Saturdays in March, so the driver works for:
4 Saturdays x 4.5 hours per half-day x 2 (double pay rate) = 36 hours on Saturdays
Therefore, the total number of hours that the driver worked in March 2022 is:
198 hours on weekdays + 36 hours on Saturdays = 234 hours
2.3 To determine the salary that the tanker driver has received in the month of June 2022 if he worked the entire month, including Saturdays, we need to know the number of weekdays and Saturdays in June. There are typically 22 weekdays in June, so the driver would work for:
22 weekdays x 9 hours per day x R92.50 per hour = R18,801 per month on weekdays
In addition, there are typically 4 Saturdays in June so that the driver would work for:
4 Saturdays x 4.5 hours per half-day x 2 (double pay rate) x R92.50 per hour = R3,996 per month on Saturdays
Therefore, the total salary that the tanker driver would receive in the month of June 2022 if he worked the entire month, including Saturdays would be:
R18,801 + R3,996 = R22,797 per month.
