Part A:
To find Julie's hourly rate of pay, we first need to determine the total number of hours she works in a week.
Julie works a total of 10 hours on Sunday, 10 hours on Monday, 10 hours on Wednesday, 7 hours on Tuesday, 7 hours on Thursday, and 7 hours on Friday.
Adding these hours together, we get: 10 + 10 + 10 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 51 hours.
Since her weekly earnings are $612, we can divide her total earnings by the total number of hours worked to find her hourly rate:
$612 / 51 hours = $12 per hour.
Therefore, Julie's hourly rate of pay is $12.
Part B:
Under the new proposed pay rate, Julie would earn twice her hourly rate for any hours worked over 8 in a day.
She works 10 hours on Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday, and 7 hours on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, for a total of 48 regular hours in a week.
For the hours worked over 8 in a day, she works 2 hours over on Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday. So, she earns 2 x $12 = $24 extra per day for these days, for a total of 3 days, or $24 x 3 = $72
Adding her regular earnings and the additional earnings for working over 8 hours in a day, her total weekly earnings under the new payment method would be:
48 regular hours x $12 + $72 = $576 + $72 = $648
Therefore, using this method of payment, Julie’s weekly earnings would be $648.
Julie works Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday for 10 hours each day . On Tuesday,
Thursday, and Friday, she works 7 hours each day . She does not work on Saturday .
Her weekly total earnings are $612 .
