Question

A new employee, John Chapman, earns $10 per hour and gets time-and-a-half over 40 hours per week. His first week he worked 45 hours. Deductions from his check were $30 for OASDI, $7 for Medicare, $ 61 for federal income tax withholding, and $15 for a United Way contribution. What was his gross pay for the period

Answer 1

Answer: $475

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross pay is:

= Regular pay + Overtime

= (Regular hours * Regular pay) + ( Overtime hours * regular pay * time and a half)

= (10 * 40 hours) + ( (45 - 40 hours) * 10 * 1.5)

= 400 + 75

= $475
