Question

Last week, Roberto worked 48 hour hours at Starbucks. Find his gross earnings for the week if he is paid $9.80 per hour and earns time and a half for all hours worked over 40 hours

Answer 1

9.8 per hours

time and a half for hours worked over 40

48 hours - 40 hours = 8 hours over 40

9.8 + (9.8/2 ) = 14.7 per hour over 40

Gross earning: (9.80 x 40 ) + ( 14.7 x 8 ) = 392+117.6 = $509.6
