Question

If a Jared is paid time and a half for overtime and he makes $13.00 per hour, how much will he make if he works 52 hours this week? Remember. Jared will only be paid time and a half for the hours that he worked over 40 hours.

Answer 1

754

Explanation:

First, find the amount of overtime Jared worked by subtracting 40 from 52 hours: 52 - 40 = 12 hours

Then multiply the overtime hours by 1.5 to find the overtime pay rate: 12 * 1.5 = 18

Then multiply the overtime pay rate by the hourly wage to see the overtime pay: 18 * 13 = 234

Then multiply the regular hours by the hourly wage to see the regular pay: 40 * 13 = 520

Then add the regular pay and the overtime pay to see the total pay: 520 + 234 = 754

So the answer is 754
