John makes $9.25 per hour. He gets time
and a half for overtime. (Overtime is more than
40 hours per week.) How much money would
he make for working 45 hours?
(9.25 * 40) + (9.25 * 1.5 * 5) =
To calculate John's earnings for working 45 hours, we need to take into account his regular pay rate and the overtime rate for any hours worked beyond 40.
First, we calculate John's regular earnings for the first 40 hours by multiplying his hourly rate by the number of hours worked:
Regular earnings = $9.25 per hour x 40 hours = $370.
Next, we need to calculate his overtime earnings. John worked 45 hours in total, which means he worked 5 hours of overtime (45 total hours - 40 regular hours = 5 overtime hours).
To calculate the overtime earnings, we need to apply the time and a half rate. This means John will be paid 1.5 times his regular rate for the overtime hours.
Overtime earnings = $9.25 per hour x 1.5 (time and a half) x 5 overtime hours = $69.38.
To find John's total earnings, we add his regular earnings and overtime earnings:
Total earnings = Regular earnings + Overtime earnings
Total earnings = $370 + $69.38 = $439.38.
Therefore, John would make $439.38 for working 45 hours.
