Question

Your pay rate is $18 per hour and you have worked 50 hours for the first week of the pay period and 50 hours for the second week of the pay period. Reminder: Your regular work hours is 40 hours for the week and you get paid bi-weekly and time and a half is paid for overtime hours. Calculate your gross pay.

Answer 1

$1,260

Step-by-step explanation:

$18 is the rate of pay for 40 hrs/week

$27 is the rate of pay for the extra 10 hrs/week (18 + 9)

A total of 100 hours for the pay period, 80 of those are 18/hr, 20 are 27/hr

40(18) + 20(27) = 720 + 540 = 1260
