Question

Mark regularly works 20 hours per week at a local restaurant from Monday through

Friday. He earns $14.25 per hour and receives double-time pay for working Saturdays.
Last week he worked his regular 20 hours, and an additional 4 hours on Saturday.
What will his total pay be for the week?

Answer 1

okay so we know that he worked his regular 20 hours so we can multiply pay times his hours ($14.25)x (20) which is $285 plus the 4 hours on Saturday. *add $14.25 plus $14.25 together because he gets paid double for overtime* ($28.50)x(4) which is $114. Then we add them both together $285+$114 = $399 which is your answer
