i don't understand how to do this question please explian thanks
You might have to correct me if I'm wrong, but I think...
In order to calculate overtime pay, you must take your amount earned per hour and multiply it by 1.5. In your case, Eric's overtime rate would be $13.86/hour ($9.24 x 1.5 = $13.86).
For double time, take the amount earned per hour and multiply by 2. So Eric's double time rate would be $18.48/hour ($9.24 x 2 = $18.48).
Hope that helps. :)
if you multiply me by 2,i become a number greater than 20 and less than 40.if you multiply me by 6,i and in 8.if you multiply me by 4, i and in 2
To find Eric's gross pay for the week, including overtime and double time, we need to calculate the pay for regular hours, overtime hours, and Sunday hours separately and then add them up.
Step 1: Calculate Regular Hours Pay
Eric worked 52 hours in total, and his regular hours are calculated by subtracting overtime and Sunday hours from the total hours worked.
Regular hours = Total hours worked - Overtime hours - Sunday hours
Regular hours = 52 hours - 8 hours - 4 hours
Regular hours = 40 hours
Eric earns $9.24 per hour for regular work, so his regular hours pay is:
Regular hours pay = Regular hours * Hourly rate
Regular hours pay = 40 hours * $9.24/hour
Regular hours pay = $369.60
Step 2: Calculate Overtime Pay
Overtime pay is calculated by multiplying the overtime hours by 1.5 times the hourly rate.
Overtime pay = Overtime hours * (Hourly rate * 1.5)
Overtime pay = 8 hours * ($9.24/hour * 1.5)
Overtime pay = $110.88
Step 3: Calculate Sunday Pay
Sunday pay is calculated by multiplying the Sunday hours by 2 times the hourly rate.
Sunday pay = Sunday hours * (Hourly rate * 2)
Sunday pay = 4 hours * ($9.24/hour * 2)
Sunday pay = $73.92
Step 4: Calculate Total Gross Pay
Total Gross Pay = Regular hours pay + Overtime pay + Sunday pay
Total Gross Pay = $369.60 + $110.88 + $73.92
Total Gross Pay = $554.40
Therefore, Eric's gross pay for this week, including overtime and double time, is $554.40.
