Gina's base pay rate is $12.25 per hour, with overtime pay of time-and-a-half, and double-time for holidays. Calculate her gross pay if she worked 4.5 holiday hours in addition to 39 hours Monday through Saturday

Is this the proper way to set it up:
(12.25 * 1.5 * 39)= ?
(12.25 * 2 * 4.5)=?

No.

She worked 39 hours at 12.25 per hour.

The second line is right.

Yes, that is the correct way to set it up. To calculate Gina's gross pay, you need to consider her regular hours and the overtime hours for both regular days and holidays.

For regular hours (Monday through Saturday), you can multiply her base pay rate of $12.25 by the number of hours:

Regular Pay = $12.25 * 39 hours

For overtime hours on regular days, you need to calculate time-and-a-half of Gina's base pay rate. Multiply her base pay rate by 1.5, and then multiply it by the number of overtime hours:

Overtime Pay = $12.25 * 1.5 * (Total overtime hours)

For holiday hours, you need to calculate double-time pay. Multiply Gina's base pay rate by 2, and then multiply it by the number of holiday hours:

Holiday Pay = $12.25 * 2 * (Total holiday hours)

To find Gina's gross pay, you can add up her Regular Pay, Overtime Pay, and Holiday Pay:

Gross Pay = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay + Holiday Pay

Yes, that is the correct way to set up the calculation for Gina's gross pay. Let's break it down step by step:

First, calculate the regular pay for the 39 hours worked Monday through Saturday:

Regular Pay = Base Pay Rate * Number of Hours
Regular Pay = $12.25 * 39

Next, calculate the overtime pay for the hours worked Monday through Saturday:

Overtime Pay = Overtime Pay Rate * Overtime Hours
Overtime Pay Rate = Base Pay Rate * 1.5
Overtime Hours = Hours worked Monday through Saturday - 40 (since anything over 40 hours is considered overtime)

Overtime Pay = Overtime Pay Rate * Overtime Hours
Overtime Pay = ($12.25 * 1.5) * (39 - 40)

Finally, calculate the double-time pay for the 4.5 holiday hours:

Double-time Pay = Double-time Pay Rate * Holiday Hours
Double-time Pay Rate = Base Pay Rate * 2
Holiday Hours = 4.5

Double-time Pay = Double-time Pay Rate * Holiday Hours
Double-time Pay = ($12.25 * 2) * 4.5

Now, we can calculate Gina's gross pay by adding the regular pay, overtime pay, and double-time pay together:

Gross Pay = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay + Double-time Pay
Gross Pay = ($12.25 * 39) + [($12.25 * 1.5) * (39 - 40)] + [($12.25 * 2) * 4.5]

Simply plug in the values into the equation and solve to find Gina's gross pay.
