Question

PLEASE HELP!!! At the state fair 6 employees were paid $6.93 an hour. They worked for 9 hours at regular price and then for 5 hours at overtime price (an extra 3.32 an hour). How much money did they make total?

Answer 1

Your answer should be 443.82

Explanation:

Ok, so if 6 workers were paid 6.93 an hour each and worked 9 hours each then you would do 6.93 x 9 for the number of hours and the pay for each hour, which is 62. 37. Then you would times 62.37 by 6 because you have 6 workers and the question asks for how much they made in TOTAL. 62.37 x 6 is 344.22, then you still have you overtime hours. So if each worker makes 3.32 for every overtime hour then you would do 3.32 x 5 for the number of hours. And that equals 16.60, then you would multiply that by 6 for the number of workers, 16.60 x 6 = 99.60. So in total for regual hours they made 344.22, and in total for overtime hours they made 99.60. Now you add those to to get you overall price which is 443.82. And that should be your answer

Hope I did some good :) Have a great day!
