Question

Devon earns $35 per hour for a regular 40-hour work week. Sometimes, he works over 40 hours a week and earns "double time" for the extra hours worked. (That means that his hourly rate for the additional hours over 40 hours per week is double his normal hourly rate.)

Answer 1

Earnings = $1960

Explanation:

The question is incomplete; however the missing part of the question asks his total earnings if he worked for 48 hours in a week

First, we need to determine the extra hour worked

Regular Hour = 40

Extra Hour = 48 - 40

Extra Hour = 8

Total Earnings is then calculated as follows:

Earnings = Regular Hours * Regular Charges + Extra Hours * Extra Charges

Earnings = 40 * 35 + 8 * Extra Charges

Since extra charges is twice regular charges, we have:

Earnings = 40 * 35 + 8 * 35 * 2

Earnings = 1400 + 560

Earnings = $1960
