Question

Tim worked 51 hours last week. He earns $15.20 per hour plus overtime, at the usual rate, for hours exceeding 40 hours what was his gross pay.

Answer 1

40. × $15.20. = $608.00
(hours)×(rate of pay)=(40-hour week gross pay)
$15.20÷2= $7.60
(time)÷2= (half time)

$15.20+ $7.60 = $22.80
time + half time= time and a half
$22.80× 11 =$250.80
(hours over 40). =( overtime pay)
$250.80+ $608.00=$858.80

$858.80 answer

Algebra Word Problems

Number of hours that Tim worked last week = 51 hours

Rate of pay per hour = $15.2

Number of usual work hours per week = 40 hours per week

Thus;

Amount earned per week without overtime is;

40 × $15.20 = $608

For overtime he earns an additional half of the usual pay per hour.

Thus, total he earns per hour with overtime is

$15.20 + ($15.20/2) = $22.80

Additional hours he worked as overtime is;

51 - 40 = 11 hours

Thus;

Amount earned plus overtime is

($22.80× 11) + $608 = $858.80
