Question

Freida earns $5.25 per hour and time-and-a-half for overtime for all hours over 40 hours. How much did she earn the week she worked 48 hours?

Answer 1

Total earned= $273

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Regular labor hours= $5.25

Overtime labor hours= $5.25*1.5= $7.875

To calculate the total earned, we need to use the following formula:

Regular labor hours= 40*5.25= 210

Overtime labor hours= 8*7.875= 63

Total earned= 210 + 63

Total earned= $273
