a) Joe's normal weekly salary can be calculated by multiplying his normal working hours by his normal hourly rate:
Normal weekly salary = 45 hours/week * K15/hour = K675/week
b) Joe's overtime salary can be calculated by multiplying his overtime hours by his overtime rate, which is time and a half of his normal hourly rate:
Overtime salary = 10 hours * (K15/hour * 1.5) = K225
c) Joe's total salary for this particular fortnight can be calculated by adding his normal weekly salary to his overtime salary for that week:
Total salary for fortnight = K675/week + K225 = K900/fortnight
