Question

What is the regular amount? Overtime pay, and gross pay?

Answer 1

Write out the total number of hours Janet worked

`Janet\text{ worked 43 hours}`

Write out the regular paid amount per hour

`\text{regular paid amount=\$15 per hour}`

Write out the overtime paid amount per hour

`\begin{gathered} \text{Overtime paid amount=1.5}*\text{ \$15 per hour} \\ =\text{ \$22.5 per hour} \end{gathered}`

Separate the regular hour of work from the over time

`\begin{gathered} \text{Total hour worked by Janet is 43hours} \\ \text{Total number of regular hour hour is 40 hours} \\ \text{Total number over time hour =(43-40) hours}=\text{ 3 hours} \end{gathered}`

Calculate the amount for a regular hour

`\begin{gathered} \text{Amount for regular hour =Regular paid amount per hour }* number\text{ of hours} \\ =\text{ \$15}*40 \\ =\text{ \$600} \end{gathered}`

Calculate the amount paid for an overtime hour

`\begin{gathered} \text{The amount for overtime hour= Overtime amount per hour }* nmber\text{ of overtime hour} \\ =\text{ \$2.25}*3 \\ =\text{ \$}67.5 \end{gathered}`

Calculate the gross pay

`\begin{gathered} \text{Gross pay= Amount for regular hour + amount for overtime hour} \\ =\text{ \$600+ \$}67.5 \\ =\text{ \$}667.5 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the regular pay amount is $600, Overtime pay is $67.5, gross pay is $667.5
