Question

Work in the five days?

Penelope Schoenberg's overtime is figured on a 40-hour week. Last week she worked
45.6 hours. This week she worked 9.7 hours on Monday, 8.3 hours on Tuesday, 8
hours on Wednesday, 9.1 hours on Thursday, and 8.6 hours on Friday. How many
overtime hours did she work in the two weeks?

Answer 1

9.3

Explanation:

last week she worked 45.6 hours. since 40 hours is the limit for normal working hours, she worked 45.6-40 = 5.6 hours overtime.

this week she worked 9.7+8.3+8+9.1+8.6 hours = 43.7 hours.

she worked therefore 43.7-40 = 3.7 hours overtime.

so, in total of the two weeks, she worked 5.6+3.7 = 9.3 hours overtime.
