Question

Lynn regularly works a 40-hour week and earns $9 per hour. She receives time-and-a-half pay for each hour of overtime she works. Lynn works 43 hours last paycheck. What was her regular gross pay?

Answer 1

Her regular gross pay is $360

Step-by-step explanation:

Regular gross pay is that pay which the person earn on daily basis or it is a fixed amount which he gets after completing a month.

In the question, we have to find out the regular gross pay which includes the daily earning of a person

So, her regular gross pay is equal to

= number of hours × rate per hour

= 40 × $9

= $360

We don't include overtime wages as it is not included in regular gross pay. So, it is ignored.

Hence, her regular gross pay is $360
