Question

Ray earns $15 an hour for up to 40 hours a week. If he works more than 40 hours a week, he is paid time and a half. That means Ray is paid 150% of his hourly wage for every hour he works over his normal 40 hour work week. How much would Ray's paycheck be if he works 46 hours in one week?

Answer 1

$735

Explanation:

40 hours x $15 per hour = $600

6 hours x $22.50 = $135

Add both dollar amounts together
