To calculate Chris's earnings, we need to consider his regular pay rate and any overtime pay for hours worked beyond 40 in a week. Here's how you can calculate it step by step:
1. Calculate the regular earnings for the first 40 hours:
- Chris earns $16.25 per hour.
- Multiply his regular hourly rate by 40 hours: $16.25/hour * 40 hours = $650.
2. Calculate the overtime earnings for the additional 3 hours:
- Chris will earn time and a half for the additional hours.
- Multiply his regular hourly rate by 1.5 to calculate the overtime rate: $16.25/hour * 1.5 = $24.375/hour.
- Multiply the overtime rate by the number of overtime hours: $24.375/hour * 3 hours = $73.125.
3. Add the regular earnings and overtime earnings to find the total earnings:
- Total earnings = Regular earnings + Overtime earnings
- Total earnings = $650 + $73.125 = $723.125.
Therefore, Chris will earn $723.125 if he works 43 hours Monday through Friday.
