Question

The hourly rate for a staff nurse is £13.75.

A staff nurse works 30 hours a week and 6 hours overtime at time-and-a-half.


What is her total pay for the week?

Answer 1

P = £536.25

Her total pay for the week is £536.25

Explanation:

The total pay can be written as;

P = t1(r1) + t2(r2)

Where;

t1 = normal time

r1 = normal time pay rate

t2 = overtime

r2 = overtime pay rate

Given;

t1 = 30 hours

t2 = 6 hours

r1 = £13.75

r2 = 1.5(r1) = 1.5(£13.75)

Substituting the given values into the equation 1;

P = 30(£13.75) + 6(1.5(£13.75))

P = £536.25

Her total pay for the week is £536.25
