Question

Isabelle earns $22.50 per hour. Last week she worked 50 hours. For any hours over 40

hours per week, Isabelle earns 1.5 times her regular hourly wage. What were Isabelle's
total weekly earnings, including overtime pay, for the last week?

Answer 1

$1237.50

Explanation:

$22.50 per hr regular

$33.75 per hr overtime

50 hrs total, meaning that she had 10 hrs of overtime.

40 * $22.50 = $900.00

10 * $33.75 = $337.50

$900.00 + $337.50 = $1237.50
