During the week ended March 15, he worked 9 hours each day from Monday through Friday, 6 hours on Saturday, and 4 hours on Sunday. Tiller's total regular earnings for the week ended March 15 are:

Answer 1

His regular earnings ( based on regular rates) is $480 while his total earnings for the week ended March 15 is $738.

Step-by-step explanation:

Regular rate = $12 per hour

Rate for hours in excess of 40 hours per week

= (3/2) × $12

= $18

Rate for hours for Sunday is double

= 2 × $12

= $24

During the week ended March 15, 9 hours each day from Monday through Friday, 6 hours on Saturday, and 4 hours on Sunday

Period in excess of 40 hours during the week

= (9 × 5) + 4 - 40

= 9

Total regular earning = 40 × $12

= $480

Additional earnings = (9 × $18) + (4 × $24)

= $162 + $96

= $258

Total earnings = $480 + $258

= $738
