Question

Rick is paid $18 an hour as a pastry chef for a regular 35-hour week. His overtime rate is double his regular hourly rate. This week he worked his regular 35 hours plus 8 hours of overtime. What is Rick’s total pay?

Answer 1

$918

Explanation:

Your answer is $918 because you know that $18 per hour and he worked 35 hours which you could do 18x35=630 then for overtime it is double so he did 8 hours overtime so you could do 18x2 which is 36 then do 36x8 which is 288 then add both of the numbers $288x$630=$918 therefor Rick's total pay is $918.Hope it helps you!

Answer 2

Explanation:

ok so first we have to multiply 18x35=630 that's what he would of gotten originally but since he worked 8 hour extra its 18x8=144 so thats how much he earned from the overtime so the you add 630+144=774 so in the week he got 774 dollars and worked a total of 43 hours :)
