Question

At the Red Apple Health Food Store, employees earn time and a half for any hours they work in addition to their regular 35-hour work week. Nicole Logan is paid $8.00 an hour. This week she worked 46.25 hours. What is her total pay?

​

Answer 1

I think the answer is either $375.625

Explanation:

If we multiple the usual 35 hours a week by 8 we get $280. Then we need to multiply the remaining extra hours (11.25) by 8.5 since the amount earned is 8 and a half more. Then we add 280+95.625=375.625
