Question

Select all that apply. Each of these statements is true if you work forty-five hours in the same pay period:

A) Your minimum hourly wage will be at least $10.
B) You will have worked full-time during that period.
C) You will receive health insurance at no cost to you.
D) You will have worked five hours overtime.

Answer 1

If you work forty-five hours in the same pay period, it means that you will earn at least $450, work full-time, and have 5 hours of overtime.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you work forty-five hours in the same pay period, the statements that would be true include:

1. Your minimum hourly wage will be at least $10: If you work 45 hours in a pay period, and your minimum hourly wage is at least $10, then your total earnings will be at least $450 (45 hours x $10 per hour = $450).
2. You will have worked full-time during that period: Since full-time work is generally considered to be around 40 hours per week, working 45 hours in a pay period would exceed the typical full-time work hours, making the statement true.
3. You will have worked five hours overtime: Working 45 hours in a pay period means that you have worked 5 hours more than the typical 40-hour workweek. Therefore, the statement is true.

Answer 2

If you work forty-five hours in the same pay period, two statements that would be true are: your minimum hourly wage will be at least $10, and you will have worked full-time during that period.

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the given statements, A) Your minimum hourly wage will be at least $10 and B) You will have worked full-time during that period are true if you work forty-five hours in the same pay period.

Statement A is true because if you work forty-five hours, your earnings from work would be (45 hours * minimum hourly wage) = $X. Since you want your earnings to be at least $10, you can set up the inequality:

1. $X ≥ $10

Statement A is true because the minimum hourly wage is greater than or equal to $10.

Statement B is true because if the standard definition of full-time work is considered as 40 hours per week, then working forty-five hours in the same pay period means you have worked full-time.
