Georgia Lybrand installs fencing. She is paid $9.50 per hour for an 8 hour day and time and a half for overtime for any work over 8 hours per day. what is her pay for a week when she worked 7, 12, 9, 10, and 10 hours?

Respuesta :

She was payed 39 hours regular pay. So 39 times $9.50 is $370.50. On top of that, she was paid 9 hours overtime. And her overtime pay rate is $14.25. $14.25 times 9 equals $128.25. $370.50 + $128.25 = $498.75. So her total pay was $498.75 for that week

Answer:

$498.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Georgia Lybrand is paid per hour for an 8 hour day = $9.50 per hour

and for her overtime work she is paid = time and a half

                                                                = 9.50 × 1.5 = $14.25

She is paid for her 8 hours = 9.50 × 8 = $76

She worked in this week

7 hours = 9.50 × 7 hrs. = $66.50     [she did not work overtime]

12 hours ( 8 hrs.+ 4 hrs overtime) = $76 + (14.25 × 4) = $133

9 hours ( 8 + 1 hour overtime) = $76 +( 14.25 × 1) = $90.25

10 hours ( 8 + 2 hours overtime) = $76 +( 14.25 × 2) = $104.50

10 hours ( 8 + 2 hrs overtime) = $76 +(14.25 × 2) = $104.50

Total pay for a week = 66.50 + 133 + 90.25 + 104.50 + 104.50 = $498.75

Her pay for the week is $498.75
