Question

Calculate the following for the throw week of June round your responses to the nearest cent if necessary

Answer 1

The regular pay amount can be calculated as

`p=\text{ earns per hour}\cdot\text{ hours}`

Therefore, for 40 hours we have

`\begin{gathered} p=16.1\cdot40 \\ \\ p=\$644 \end{gathered}`

Now we must calculate the overtime pay, it will be

`\text{ overtime pay}=\text{ earns per hour}\cdot\text{ hours in overtime }\cdot1.5`

Therefore

`\begin{gathered} OP=16.1\cdot15\cdot1.5 \\ \\ OP=\$362.25 \\ \end{gathered}`

And the gross payment will be the sum

`\text{ gross }=\$1006.25`

Final answer:

`\begin{gathered} \text{ regular pay amount = \$644} \\ \text{ overtime pay = \$362.25 } \\ \text{ gross = \$1006.25} \end{gathered}`
