Question

When Alexis works overtime (any hours over 40 hours a week), she is paid 1.5 times her regular hourly rate. In one week, she worked 55 hours. If her regular hourly rate is $8.60, how much did she earn that week? 472

Answer 1

1.5X = Over extra payed

Overtime = 55 hours - 40 hours= 15 hours

Then multiply

1.5•8.60 • 15 hours= 12.9 • 15 = 193.5
