Question

Oliver earns $23.80 an hour. He earns normal rates during week days and time-and-a-
half on weekends. Last week he worked 34 hours during the week and 6 hours during
the weekend. Find his weekly wage.

Answer 1

So first we calculate the weekly hours:
23.80 x 34 = 809.20

Then we calculate the time and half:
23.80 x 6 x 1.5 = 214.2

Then we total then together:
214.2 + 809.20 = 1023.40
