answer:
To calculate James' gross earnings, we need to determine the total number of hours worked and the corresponding pay rate for each type of work.
First, let's calculate the total number of regular hours worked:
Regular hours = Sunday hours + Monday hours + Tuesday hours + Wednesday hours + Thursday hours + Friday hours + Saturday hours
Regular hours = 3 + 5 + 8.25 + 9 + 8.5 + 5 + 0
Regular hours = 39.75 hours
Next, let's calculate the number of overtime hours worked:
Overtime hours = Total hours worked - Regular hours
Overtime hours = (Sunday hours + Monday hours + Tuesday hours + Wednesday hours + Thursday hours + Friday hours + Saturday hours) - Regular hours
Overtime hours = (3 + 5 + 8.25 + 9 + 8.5 + 5 + 0) - 39.75
Overtime hours = 0.25 hours
Now, let's calculate the earnings for regular hours:
Regular earnings = Regular hours * Regular rate
Regular earnings = 39.75 * $18.70
Regular earnings = $742.58
Next, let's calculate the earnings for overtime hours:
Overtime earnings = Overtime hours * (Regular rate * 1.5)
Overtime earnings = 0.25 * ($18.70 * 1.5)
Overtime earnings = $8.84
Finally, let's calculate the total gross earnings:
Gross earnings = Regular earnings + Overtime earnings
Gross earnings = $742.58 + $8.84
Gross earnings = $751.42
Therefore, James' gross earnings are $751.42.
