Question

As a zookeeper, morfin earns $19.50 an hour plus time-and-a-half for any overtime pay. Last week Morfin worked his regular 40 hours on plus 13 hours of overtime. What was his total pay for the week?

Answer 1

Okay, let's break this down:

Morfin's regular pay rate: $19.50 per hour

He gets 1.5x his regular pay for overtime

Last week he worked:

40 regular hours

13 overtime hours

To calculate his total pay:

Regular hours:

40 hours x $19.50 per hour = $780

Overtime hours:

13 hours x 1.5 x $19.50 per hour (overtime rate) = $390.75

Total pay = Regular pay + Overtime pay

= $780 + $390.75 = $1170.75

Therefore, Morfin's total pay for last week was $1170.75
