To calculate Harry's total wage for the week, we need to calculate his earnings for each day and add them together.
1. Calculate the earnings for weekdays:
Harry works 38 hours on weekdays and is paid $18.25 per hour. So, the total earnings for weekdays can be calculated as:
Weekday earnings = 38 hours * $18.25/hour
2. Calculate the earnings for evenings/Saturdays:
Harry works 9.5 hours on evenings/Saturdays and gets time and a half. This means he will be paid 1.5 times his regular rate. So, the total earnings for evenings and Saturdays can be calculated as:
Evening/Saturday earnings = 9.5 hours * ($18.25/hour * 1.5)
3. Calculate the earnings for Sundays:
Harry works 5.5 hours on Sundays and gets double time. This means he will be paid 2 times his regular rate. So, the total earnings for Sundays can be calculated as:
Sunday earnings = 5.5 hours * ($18.25/hour * 2)
4. Add up all the earnings:
Total wage for the week = weekday earnings + evening/Saturday earnings + Sunday earnings
Now, let's calculate each component:
Weekday earnings = 38 hours * $18.25/hour
Weekday earnings = $693.50
Evening/Saturday earnings = 9.5 hours * ($18.25/hour * 1.5)
Evening/Saturday earnings = $260.06
Sunday earnings = 5.5 hours * ($18.25/hour * 2)
Sunday earnings = $200.75
Finally, let's calculate the total wage for the week:
Total wage for the week = $693.50 + $260.06 + $200.75
Total wage for the week = $1,154.31
Therefore, Harry's total wage for the week is $1,154.31.
