Answer 1

$1279.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Bob's hourly pay = $14.38

His regular hours = 40 hours

Since his his overtime pay is time and a half

Bob's overtime pay per hour = 1.5 x $14.38 =$21.57.

Last week, he worked for 42 hours.

Number of Overtime hours = 42-40 = 2 hours

This week, he worked for 44 hours.

Number of Overtime hours = 44-40 = 4 hours

Therefore:

Total regular hours = 40+40=80 hours

Total Overtime hours = 2+4 =6 hours

Therefore, his total gross pay will be:

`\begin{gathered} =(80*\$14.38)+(6*\$21.57) \\ =1150.40+129.42 \\ =\$1279.82 \end{gathered}`
