Question

Write a program to prompt the user for hours and rate per hour using input to compute gross pay.

Pay should be the normal rate for hours up to 40 and time-and-a-half for the hourly rate for all hours worked above 40 hours.

Put the logic to do the computation of pay in a function called computepay() and use the
function to do the computation. The function should return a value. Use 45 hours and a rate of 10.50 per hour to test the program (the pay should be 498.75).

You should use input to read a string and float to convert the string to a number. Do not worry about error checking the user input unless you want to - you can assume the user types numbers properly. Do not name your variable sum or use the sum() function.​

Answer 1

def computepay(h,r):

if h > 40:

pay = 40 * r

h -= 40

pay += (r*1.5) * h

else:

pay = h*r

return pay

print(computepay(float(input("How many hours did you work? ")),float(input("What is your rate of pay"))))

I hope this helps!
