To find John's total pay, we need to calculate his regular pay for 48 hours and add his overtime pay.
John's regular pay for 48 hours is $6.00 per hour regular pay x 48 hours = $<<6*48=288.00>>288.00.
To find John's overtime pay, we need to calculate time and a half of his regular pay rate of $6.00 per hour: time and a half = 1.5 x $6.00 = $9.00.
John's overtime pay for 48 hours is $9.00 per hour x 8 hours (overtime hours) = $<<9*8=72.00>>72.00.
His total pay is his regular pay + overtime pay = $288.00 + $72.00 = $<<288+72=360.00>>360.00.
