Question

PLESE help I’ been stuck on this for awhile :( At Walmart employees earn double time for any hours worked in

addition to their regular 40-hour week. Last week, Jon worked his regular
40 hours plus 9 hours of overtime. Jon is paid $8.50 per hour. What is his
total pay for the week? *
$416.75
$454.75
$493
$416.50

Answer 1

$493

Explanation:

First you would fid the amount of money he made with 40 hours which is $340

then you would double 8.50 which is 17

then multiply 17 by 9 to get $153

finally you would add $340 and $153 to get $493

AJajijawfjapwfoawfj got it right first I just didn't want to mess anyone up with the answer that I had before which was wrong.

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate the total pay for the week

40 x 8.50 = 340

Next is to find what 8.50 times 2 is because he is getting paid "double" for overtime

8.50 x 2 = 17

Now multiply that by the extra 9 hours

17 x 9 = 153

Now add the total

340 + 153 = $493

Have a nice day fellow :)
