Question

When alexis works overtime (any hours over 40 hours a week), she is paid 1.5 times her regular hourly rate. in one week, she worked 51 hours. if her regular hourly rate is $7.05, how much did she earn that week?

Answer 1

Amount = 1.5*(H - 40) * 7.05 + 40*7.05
H must be greater than 40, otherwise H = 40.

Amount = 1.5 *(51 - 40) + 40*7.05
amount = 116.33 + 282
Amount = 398.33
