Question

Oscar works at a warehouse eight hours a day, earning $9.48 an hour. He is asked to work two additional hours at time and a half. How much overtime pay will he earn for these two hours of overtime?

Answer 1

he will earn $28.44 of overtime pay for the 2 hours

Explanation:

Time and a half equals 1.5

`9.48 * 1.5 = 14.22`

he will make an additional $14.22 cents/hr of overtime

`14.22 * 2 = 28.44`

Total amount of money he makes in one 8hr day plus the 2 hours of overtime

`9.48 * 8 = 75.84 \: \: 8hr \: day \\ 14.22 * 2 = 28.44 \: \: 2hrs \: of \: ot \\ \\ 75.84 + 28.44 = 104.28`
