A worker gets paid overtime at the rate of normal time plus one third. One week he works 40 hours of normal time and 6 hours overtime. If his hourly rate is $15 how much did he earn for that week?​

Answer:

$ 720

Explanation:

Normal time $ 15

Overtime: 15 x 1/3 = $5 + $15 = $20

(40 x 15) + (6 x 20) = 600 + 120
