Question

Dorothy Kaatz, a computer programmer, earns a regular hourly rate of

$15.25 and earns double that when she works overtime. Kaatz usually works
40 regular hours and 12 hours overtime while she's trying to update the
company's systems before the month's end. What is her straight-time pay?
What is her overtime pay? What is her total pay?

Answer 1

$976

Explanation:

Straight time pay= $15.25(hourly rate) × 40(hours worked)= $610

Overtime Rate = 15.25×2= $30.50

Overtime Pay= $30.5 × 12 (Hours worked overtime)= $366

Total Pay= Basic wage + Overtime Wage = $976
