Question

You worked
44 hours. 40
regular hours a
$8.50 and 4
overtime hours. What would be your gross pay?

Answer 1

Answer:

$391.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Typically, regular work hours are paid at the rate given ($8.50), and overtime is "time and a half", or 1.5 times the regular pay.

We will get paid 40 hours at $8.50, and 4 four hours at 1.5x$8.50:

$40(8.5)+4(1.5)(8.5)\\340+51\\391$

You will get paid $391.00 in gross pay, before taxes :)
