Question

Peter works 52hours in a 40-hour work week where his basic wages rate is $200.If overtime is paid at time and-a-half, determine his wage for the week. ​

Answer 1

$230

Explanation:

Hes paid 200 for his wages but if he works overtime by 12 hours he gets half of the 5 dollars he earns per hour which is 2.5 which then is 2.5 times 12 which is then 30 plus the 200 he earned for the 40 hours.
