Final answer:
The total pay for the week is calculated by adding regular pay for 40 hours and double the hourly wage for 13 hours overtime, resulting in $1132, which corresponds to option C.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is option C, $1132. To calculate the total pay including overtime, we first need to determine the number of regular hours and the number of overtime hours worked. Since a standard full-time workweek is typically 40 hours, any hours worked beyond that are considered overtime. In this case, the student worked 53 hours, so there are 40 regular hours and 13 overtime hours.
The regular pay is the regular hourly rate multiplied by the number of regular hours: $17.00 × 40 = $680.00.
The overtime pay is calculated by doubling the regular hourly rate and then multiplying by the number of overtime hours: (2 × $17.00) × 13 = $442.00.
Finally, we add the regular pay and the overtime pay to find the total pay for the week: $680.00 + $442.00 = $1122.00.
Thus, the correct total pay for the week, including overtime, is $1132.
To calculate the total pay for the week, we need to calculate the regular pay and the overtime pay separately and then add them together.
Regular Pay: The regular pay is calculated by multiplying the regular hourly rate ($17) by the total number of regular work hours (40 hours).
Regular Pay = $17 * 40 = $680
Overtime Pay: The overtime pay is calculated by multiplying the overtime hourly rate (double the regular rate, so $17 * 2) by the number of overtime hours (the total work hours minus 40).
Overtime Pay = ($17 * 2) * (53 - 40) = $34 * 13 = $442
Total Pay: The total pay for the week, including overtime, is the sum of the regular pay and the overtime pay.
Total Pay = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay = $680 + $442 = $1122
