To calculate Jane's earnings for a 43.5-hour week, we first need to determine how many overtime hours she worked. In most cases, overtime pay applies after 40 hours of work in a week.
Jane worked a total of 43.5 hours in a week, so she worked 3.5 hours of overtime (43.5 total hours - 40 regular hours).
For regular hours: 40 hours * $7.50/hour = $300
For overtime hours: 3.5 hours * $7.50/hour * 1.5 = $39.38
Total earnings for the week: $300 + $39.38 = $339.38
Therefore, Jane earns $339.38 for a 43.5-hour week.
Jane earns $7.50 an hour and time-and-a-half for overtime. How
