Question

. If a person makes $12.00 per hour, and twice that much if they work more than 35 hours in a week,
how much would that person make if they worked 42 hours in a week?

Answer 1

The person will make $588 for 42 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Per hour pay = $12.00

Twice pay = 12.00*2 = $24.00

Total time = 42 hours

According to given statement;

For the first 35 hours, they pay will be $12.00 and more than that $24.00

42 hours can also be written as;

42 hours = 35 hours + 7 hours

Pay for 35 hours = $35*12.00=\ 420$

Pay for additional 7 hours = $7*24.00=\ 168$

Total pay for 42 hours = Pay for 35 hours + Pay for 7 hours

Total pay for 42 hours = 420+168 = $588

The person will make $588 for 42 hours.
