Question

Q9. Alice worked 52 hours this week. She gets paid $9.35 per hour for the

first 40 hours and then gets time-and-a-half for the rest of the time. How
much money did she make this week?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

$542.30

Explanation:

For the first 40 hours, Alice made ...

(40 h)($9.35/h) = $374.00

For the next 52 -40 = 12 hours, Alice made ...

(12 h)($9.35/h × 1.5) = $168.30

Then the total Alice made for working 52 hours is ...

$374.00 +168.30 = $542.30

Alice made $542.30 this week.
