Question

$12 per hour with time and a half after 40 hours, how many overtime hours needed to make $300 extra

Answer 1

Answer:

16 2/3 hours (which is 16 hours 40 minutes)

Step-by-step explanation:

Regular rate = $12 an hour

Overtime = 1.5 ($12) = $18 an hour

To make $300 extra, you need to work:

$300 / $18 = 16.6666666667 hours, which is 16 2/3 hours which is 16 hours 40 minutes.
