Question

David makes $18.50 per hour and his regular hours are 40 hours a week his overtime pay is time and a half he worked 47 hours this week what is his gross pay

Answer 1

Time-and - half-payment means David will be paid 50% more on the hourly rate. So instead of making $18.50 per hour, David will now make $18.50 x 1.5 = $27.75.

Hence, if David worked 47 hours his gross pay will be

`27.75*47=1304.25`

which is our answer.
