Question

Amy regularly works 20 hours per week at Pook’s Dry Cleaners from Monday through Friday. She earns $8.10 per hour and receives double-time pay for working Sundays. Next week she will work her regular 20 weekday hours, and an additional eight hours on Sunday. What will her total pay be for the week?

Answer 1

20 × 8.10 = $162.00 per week

8.10 × 2 = $16.20 (double-time pay rate)

16.20 × 8 = $129.60 (double-time pay)

162 + 129.6 = $291.60

Amy's total pay will be $291.60.
