Question

Catherine earns a regular hourly rate of $22.50 and earns double overtime .she usually works 40 reglaur hours and 12 hours overtime. what is her straight time pay? her overtime pay? and her total pay?

Answer 1

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

regular (r) = 22.50,

overtime (o) = 2r = 2 * 22.50 = 45

40 regular hours = 40 * 22.5 = 900

12 hours overtime = 12 * 45 = 540

Total pay = 900 + 540 = $1440
