Answer 1

1. Regular pay amount: $684

2. Overtime pay: $134.66

3. Gross pay: $818.66

Data:

Regular time worked: 40 hours

Overtime worked: 5.25 hours <= 45.25 - 40 (Total hours worked - regular time worked)

Amount paid per regular hour worked: $17.10

Amount paid per overtime hour worked: $25.65 <= 17.15 * 1.5 (Regular hour payment * 1.5 the hourly rate)

Solution:

1. Regular pay amount:

40 * 17.15 = $684 <= (Regular time worked * Amount paid per regular hour worked)

2. Overtime pay:

5.25 * 25.65 = $134.6625 = $134.66 <= (Overtime worked * Amount paid per overtime hour worked)

3. Gross pay:

684 + 134.66 = $818.66 <= (Regular pay amount + Overtime pay)
