Question

Rashad is paid time-and-a-half for any overtime he works weekly. He worked 10 hours overtime last week and earned $120. What is his regular hourly pay?

Answer 1

$12 hourly

Explanation:

120 ÷ 10 = 12

Answer 2

8.00

Explanation:

time and a half is his regular pay plus 1/2 of it per hour.

if it were straight time....then he'd make $12 and hour.

But time and a half is time plus half

So - 10 hours x 8.00 = 80

10 hours x 4 = 40

40+80 = 120
