Question

Tom worked 48 hours last week and gets time-and-a-half pay for overtime. His regular pay is $32 per hour. a) How much does he make for an hour of overtime?

Answer 1

$48

Explanation:

From the question we know that;

His regular pay is $32 per hour.

Tom worked 48 hours last week and gets time-and-a-half pay for overtime.

Time and a half pay = 1.5

Hence, if Tom works for an hour of overtime, his pay for his overtime is calculated as:

= 1.5 × $32 × 1

= $48

Therefore, he was paid $48 for one hour of overtime.
