Josh gets paid at a rate of $10.73 per hour. He also gets paid time and a half for overtime (over 40 hours). If he worked 47 hours this week, what is his pay before taxes?

Answer:

$541.90

Explanation:

We'll start with his regular pay, 40 hours times $10.73

10.73 x 40 = 429.20

His overtime pay is 10.73 + 1/2(10.73) = 10.73 + 5.365 = 16.095, rounded to 16.10

He worked 7 hours at the rate of $16.10/hour

16.10 x 7 = 112.70

Add the two totals together for his total pay before taxes:

429.20 + 112.70 = 541.90

Please lmk if you have questions.
