Answer 1

Total pay= $1,260

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Wage= $22.50 an hour for a regular 40-hour week.

His overtime rate is double his regular hourly rate.

First, we will structure the total pay formula:

Total pay= 22.5*x + 45*y

x= regular hour

y= overtime

Now, for 40 hours plus 8 hours of overtime:

Total pay= 22.5*40 + 45*8

Total pay= $1,260
