Question

You are starting your first job as a salesperson at a clothing store. You receive a base salary of $10.00 per hour with time-and-a half for hours in excess of 40 hours per week.Calculate your paycheck when you work 34 hours the first week and 63 hours the second week. a1,085 b1,030 c970 d985

Answer 1

Since the cost per hour for the first 40 hours is $10

Since the cost per hour for more than 40 hours is 1.5 of $10

Since you will work on both weeks 34 + 63 = 97 hours

Then we will multiply 34 + 40 of them by 10 and the rest by 1.5 of 10

`1.5*10=15`
`T=34*10+40*10+23*15`

Calculate them

`\begin{gathered} T=340+400+345 \\ \\ T=1085 \end{gathered}`

The paycheck will be $1085
