Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The first row

• Rate per hour is $11.25
• Number of regular hours is 40

Payment for regular hours:

• 40*$11.25 = $450

The second row

Rate per overtime hour:

• $11.25*1.5 = $16.875 ≈ $16.88 (rounded up)

Number of overtime hours:

• 48.5 - 40 = 8.5

Payment for overtime hours:

• $16.88*8.5 = $143.48

The third row

Gross payment is the sum of regular and overtime payments:

• $450 + $143.48 = $593.48
