Question

Keith earns $8.60 an hour and time-and-a-half for all hours over 40

hours. How much did he earn the week he worked 47.5 hours?
a. $344
b. $625.65
c. $109.65
d. $440.75

Answer 1

8.60 per hour x 40 hours = 344

Time and a half over 40 hours:

47.5-40 = 7.5 hours at time and a half:

7.5 x 8.60 x 1.5 = 96.75

Total pay : 344 + 96.75 = $440.75

Answer: d. $440.75
