Question

Your pay rate is $20 per hour and you have a weekly pay period. You have worked overtime and accumulated 50 hours for the week. You get paid time and a half for overtime hours. Calculate your gross pay. *

Answer 1

$1200 gross pay

Explanation:

if you worked 40 hours normally and had 10 hours over time, that equation for the gross pay would be X = 20(40) + 30(10)

X = 20(40) + 30(10)

X = 800 + 300

X = 1200
