Question

Cameron Tiller is paid one and one-half times the regular hourly rate for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week and double time for work on Sunday. Tiller's regular rate is $12 per hour. During the week ended March 15, he worked 9 hours each day from Monday through Friday, 6 hours on Saturday, and 4 hours on Sunday. Tiller's total regular earnings for the week ended March 15 are a.$110. B.$480. C.$216. D.$430.

Answer 1

The correct answer is $666 even though it is not an option

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it seems that Cameron Tiller worked a total of (9+9+9+9+9+6+4) 55 hours that week. Therefore since he did reach the 40 hours he does get one-half times pay, and he does get double pay for working 4 hours on Sunday. So in order to calculate the total amount that he got paid we multiply the 40 hours he worked from Monday-Friday by his hourly rate of $12, 5 hours by $18 (one and half pay), and the 4 hours by $24 which is double pay.

40 * 12 = 480

5 * 18 = 90

4 * 24 = 96

480 + 90 + 96 = $666
