Final answer:
Kylie's total wage for working 25 regular hours and 4 overtime hours at time-and-a-half is $496.00.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate Kylie's wage, we first need to determine her regular and overtime earnings. Kylie works 25 hours at a regular rate of $16.00 per hour, and she works 4 hours of overtime at a rate of time-and-a-half.
Let's calculate her regular earnings:
Regular earnings = Regular hours × Regular rate
Regular earnings = 25 hours × $16.00/hour
Regular earnings = $400.00
Next, let's calculate her overtime earnings:
Overtime rate = Regular rate × 1.5
Overtime rate = $16.00 × 1.5
Overtime rate = $24.00 per hour
Overtime earnings = Overtime hours × Overtime rate
Overtime earnings = 4 hours × $24.00/hour
Overtime earnings = $96.00
Add both earnings to get Kylie's total wage:
Total wage = Regular earnings + Overtime earnings
Total wage = $400.00 + $96.00
Total wage = $496.00
