Question

Luis makes $23.10 at his job for the first 40 hours each week. If he works more than 40 hours, then he makes 1.5 his hourly wage. If Luis works 46 hours in a week, how much does he earn?

$1062.60
$1097.25
$1131.90
$1593.90

Answer 1

$1131.90 is the amount he earns

for the first 40 he makes $924

to find the extra 6 hours these are the steps u need to do

1)multiply 23.10 by 1.5
2)you get 34.65
3) so for each additional hour he makes 34.65
4) 6 times 34.65 = 207.90
5) so the 207.90 + 924 = 1131.90
