Answer:
$1312.50
Explanation:
You want Emannuelle's net pay if she is paid for piecework and has deductions of $75, 65, and 55. Here piecework pay is ...
- 1200 pieces at $0.50
- 750 pieces at $0.75
- 150 pairs of pieces at $1.15 per piece
Gross pay
Emannuelle's gross pay is the sum of products of the number of pieces and the pay for each:
gross = 1200×$0.50 +750×$0.75 +2×150×$1.15 = $600 +562.50 +345
gross = $1507.50
Deductions
The total of deductions from her gross pay is ...
$75 +65 +55 = $195
Net pay
Emannuelle's net pay is the gross pay less the deductions:
net pay = gross pay - deductions
net pay = $1507.50 -195 = $1312.50
Her net pay is $1312.50 for the week.
