Question

$15 per hour is the basic rate at a factory. After a 48 hour basic work week, overtime is paid time and a half. If no one worked overtime and the factory paid $15840 in wages one week how many workers are in the factory

Answer 1

There are 22 workers are available in the factory.

What is Wages?

Wages is the payment for work based on hours worked (or sometimes per day or per amount of work done).

Here, Let the number of workers in the factory be x.

         Basic rate = $15

    Working hours in a week  = 48 hours

     Total wages in a week = $ 15840

If no overtime is to be paid then according to question,

   Amount paid to 1 worker = 48 X 15 = $ 720

  Amount paid to x worker = 720x

                 15840 = 720x

                    x = 15840/720

                    x = 22

Thus, There are 22 workers are available in the factory.
