Question

If I'm getting paid $13.50 per hour and I'm using military time and I clock in at 8:30 and clock out at 12:00 then clock in again at 12:30 and clock back out at 17:45 how much did I make? Round to the nearest cent if necessary.

Answer 1

To calculate how much you made, we first need to determine the total hours worked during the two shifts.

1. **First Shift:**
- Clock in at 08:30
- Clock out at 12:00
- Total hours for the first shift:
- 12:00 - 08:30 = 3 hours and 30 minutes
- 3.5 hours

2. **Second Shift:**
- Clock in at 12:30
- Clock out at 17:45
- Total hours for the second shift:
- 17:45 - 12:30 = 5 hours and 15 minutes
- 5.25 hours

3. **Total Hours Worked:**
- First Shift: 3.5 hours
- Second Shift: 5.25 hours
- Total: 3.5 + 5.25 = 8.75 hours

4. **Total Earnings:**
- Hourly rate: $13.50
- Total pay = Total Hours Worked × Hourly Rate
- Total pay = 8.75 hours × $13.50/hour = $118.125

5. **Rounding to the Nearest Cent:**
- $118.125 rounds to $118.13.

Therefore, you made **$118.13**.
