Question

Astrid works in the oil and gas industry near Fort McMurray, Alberta. She earns $28.30/h and makes double time for hours worked beyond 40 each week. Calculate Astrid’s gross income for 45.25 hours worked last week.

Answer 1

We have that the first 40h are paid at $28.30 each hour, so this first 40h give $1132

`28.30\cdot40=1132`

Now the other 5.25 hours that are beyond 40h the last week are paid at the double of a normal hour this means are paid at $56.60 ($28.30 x 2). Now the 5.25h give 297.15

`56.60\cdot5.25=297.15`

So the total is $1429,15. The answer is $1429,15
