Question

Will earns $6.50 per hour and time-an-a-half for all hours over 40.
Find his weekly pay if he worked 47 hours.

Answer 1

First, we need to calculate his regular pay for the first 40 hours:

$6.50/hour * 40 hours = $260

Next, we need to calculate his overtime pay for the additional 7 hours:

$6.50/hour * 1.5 = $9.75/hour for overtime
$9.75/hour * 7 hours = $68.25

Finally, we add his regular pay and overtime pay together to get his total weekly pay:

$260 + $68.25 = $328.25

Therefore, Will's weekly pay if he worked 47 hours is $328.25.
