1 week of pay is 0
To calculate Martin's straight time pay over a 4-week period, we need to find out the total amount he earns per week and then multiply it by 4.
First, let's find out how much Martin earns in a week:
Martin works 32 hours a week for $7.50 an hour, so his weekly earnings can be calculated as:
32 hours * $7.50/hour = $<<32*7.50=240>>240
Now, to find his straight time pay over a 4-week period, we need to multiply his weekly earnings by 4:
$240/week * 4 weeks = $<<240*4=960>>960
Therefore, Martin's straight time pay over a 4-week period is $960.
