Question

Aaron works as a bar attendant and receives $11 per hour. On Saturday he works for five hours at normal time and three hours overtime for which he was paid time and a half. How do I calculate his pay for the evening?

Answer 1

so his total pay for Saturday would be $104.50

Explanation:

He works 5 hours at $11 per hour which gets a total of 55$

He also works 3 hours of overtime where he gets payed 1.5x pay

11 x 1.5 = 16.5 (10x1.5 = 15 1x1.5 = 1.5)

so he gets $16.5 per hour for 3 hours which = 49.5$

49.5 + 55 = $104.50
