Christmas this year so he decides to work overtime for one week. His boss pays him time and a half for
overtime hours. During that week, Raul wąrked 40 regular hours and 15 overtime hours. How much did
Raul make that week, before taxes?

Answer 1

$937.50

Explanation:

"time and a half" means times 1.5.

he gets 1.5 times for overtime hours than what he normally gets for working hours.

normally he makes $15 per hour.

for overtime he makes 15×1.5 = $22.50 per hour.

Raul worked in that week 40 regular hours per $15, and he worked 15 overtime hours per $22.50.

so, his total earnings that week were

40×15 + 15×22.5 = 600 + 337.5 = $937.50

Answer 2

337.5 in overtime and 600 in regular so 937.50 total
