Answer:
Robert's weekly gross pay is $1010.
Explanation:
a. To calculate Robert's overtime pay, we need to know his overtime rate. Let's assume that his overtime rate is time and a half, which means he earns 1.5 times his regular hourly rate of $20 per hour for each overtime hour worked.
Robert worked 3 hours of overtime on Saturday and 4 hours of overtime on Sunday, for a total of 7 overtime hours.
Overtime pay = (overtime hours) x (overtime rate)
Overtime rate = 1.5 x (regular hourly rate) = 1.5 x $20 = $30 per hour
Overtime pay = 7 x $30 = $210
Therefore, Robert's overtime pay is $210.
b. To calculate Robert's weekly gross pay, we need to add up his regular pay and his overtime pay.
Regular pay = (regular hours) x (regular hourly rate)
Regular pay = 8 x $20 = $160 per day x 5 days = $800
Overtime pay = $210 (from part a)
Weekly gross pay = regular pay + overtime pay = $800 + $210 = $1010
Therefore, Robert's weekly gross pay is $1010.
