Question

Sallie Woo worked these hours last week: Monday, 10; Tuesday, 8 1/4; Wednesday, 9 1/2; Thursday, 6; Friday, 8; Saturday, 5. Sallie is paid $11.40 per hour for regular hours, time and a half for overtime during the week, and double time for weekend hours. If Sallie works on an 8-hour day basis, what was her pay for the week?

Answer 1

Her pay for the week= $ 611.325

Explanation:

Sallie is paid $ 11.40 per hour for regular hours.

The total regular hours worked during the week are

Monday + Tuesday + Wednesday + Thursday+ friday = 8 + 8+ 8+6+8= 38 hours

She works overtime during the week

Monday + Tuesday + Wednesday = 2+ 1/4+ 1 1/2= 2+ 1/4 + 3/2

= 8 +1+ 6/4=15/4 = 3 3/4 hours

Over the weekend she works five hours .

So the total pay would be

$ 11.40( 38 ) + $ 11.40( 1.5) ( 15/4) + $ 11.40 ( 2) ( 5)

= 433.2 + 64.125 + 114.0

= $ 611.325
