Question

you make 8.50 a hour , you work 45 hours and get paid time and a half for overtime. what would the gross pay me for the week ?

Answer 1

Let standard work be 40 hour workweek.

So, 45 hours is 40 hour normal and 5 hrs overtime.

So,

40 hours 8.5 per hour

5 hours 8.5 * 1.5 per hour

so

$340 (room)

63.75 (ot)

Gross Pay = 340 + 63.75 = $403.75
