Question

Pio is paid $7.50 per hour for the first 46 hours he works in a week. He is paid time and half

for every extra hour worked. How much is Jeanette paid if he works for 51 hours in a week?​

Answer 1

Pio is paid with $ 401.25 for 51 hours in a week.

Explanation:

Based on the information of the statement we can calculate his payment for 51 hours in a week but using this arithmetical formula:

`c = 7.50\,(\$)/(h)* 46\,h + 1.5* 7.50\,(\$)/(h)* (51\,h-46\,h)`

`c = \$\,401.25`

Please notice that first component of the sum represent the ordinary time in a week (46 hours) and the second one, extra work time.

Pio is paid with $ 401.25 for 51 hours in a week.
