Question

The employees in a firm earn $8.50 an hour for the first 40 hours per week, and 1.5 times the hourly rate for any hours worked over 40. How much does an employee who works 52 hours in one week earn?

Answer 1

$493

Explanation:

8.50 x 40 = 340

1.5 x 8.5 = 12.75

12 x 12.75 = 153

340+ 153
