Question

You’re an electrician for Billy Bob’s creation. You earn a regular hourly rate of 16.21. You earn time and a half for overtime work beyond 40 hours in double time on Sundays. This past week you were 38 hours from Monday through Friday six hours on Saturday and six hours on Sunday what is your total pay for the week rounded to the nearest cent

Answer 1

We have 38 hours for M-F and then we can use 2 hours from Sat to make 40

40 * 16.21 = 648.4

Then there are 6-2 = 4 hours left on Saturday that are time and a half

16.21 * 1.5 =24.315

4 * 24.315 = 97.26

There are 6 hours on Sunday which is double time

6 * 16.21*2 = 194.52

Adding this together

648.4+97.26+194.52 =940.18
