Question

Answer 1

Paul Curcio's gross pay was $ 514.5.

Explanation:

Given that Paul Curcio earns $ 7.35 per hour for regular time up to 40 hours, time-and-a-half for overtime, and double time for working on holidays, to find his gross pay if he worked 6 holiday hours for a total of 58 hours Monday through Saturday the following calculation must be performed:

(58 - 40 - 6) x 7.35 x 1.5 + 6 x 7.35 x 2 + 40 x 7.35 = X

132.3 + 88.2 + 294 = X

514.5 = X

Therefore, Paul Curcio's gross pay was $ 514.5.
