Sandy Sanders has an hourly wage of $ 15.00 and is paid time and one half for
all overtime after 40 hours. Calculate Sandy’s gross pay for the week of August
13 for which she worked the following number of hours.
Sunday:
Monday: 8.5
Tuesday: 9.5
Wednesday: 6.25
Thursday: 7.5
Friday: 10.25
Saturday: 3.25
15 * 40 = _____ regular pay
Add the number of hours she worked and subtract from 40.
Multiply the difference by (15 * 1.5)
Add the product to her regular pay.
K thanks
You're welcome.
Oops -- I goofed! Add the number of hours she worked and subtract 40 from it!
To calculate Sandy's gross pay for the week of August 13, we need to determine the total number of hours she worked and then calculate her regular pay and overtime pay separately.
First, let's calculate the total number of hours Sandy worked in that week:
Sunday: 0 hours (assuming she didn't work on Sunday)
Monday: 8.5 hours
Tuesday: 9.5 hours
Wednesday: 6.25 hours
Thursday: 7.5 hours
Friday: 10.25 hours
Saturday: 3.25 hours
Total hours worked = 8.5 + 9.5 + 6.25 + 7.5 + 10.25 + 3.25 = 45.25 hours
Since Sandy is paid time and a half for overtime (hours worked over 40), we need to determine if there were any overtime hours.
Overtime hours = Total hours worked - 40 hours
Overtime hours = 45.25 - 40 = 5.25 hours
Now, let's calculate Sandy's regular pay:
Regular pay = Total hours worked - Overtime hours
Regular pay = 45.25 - 5.25 = 40 hours
Next, let's calculate Sandy's overtime pay:
Overtime pay rate = 1.5 * Hourly wage
Overtime pay rate = 1.5 * $15.00 = $22.50
Overtime pay = Overtime hours * Overtime pay rate
Overtime pay = 5.25 hours * $22.50 = $118.13
Finally, let's calculate Sandy's gross pay for the week:
Gross pay = Regular pay + Overtime pay
Gross pay = ($15.00 * 40 hours) + $118.13
Gross pay = $600.00 + $118.13
Gross pay = $718.13
Therefore, Sandy's gross pay for the week of August 13 is $718.13.
