Question

Zach earns $10.50 an hour for the first 40 hours per week, and 1.5 times the hourly rate for any hours worked over 40. How much money would Zach earn if he works 47 hours in one week?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$10.50 × 40 = $420 per week (for first 40 hours)

7 hours extra

7 × $10.50 = $73.50

$73.50 × 1.5 = $110.25 (for extra 7 hours)

$420 + $110.25 = $530.25
