Employee Garments Produced Total Gross Pay
Insufficient data.
To calculate the total gross pay for the employee, you need to determine the pay level based on the number of garments produced and then multiply it by the rate per garment for that specific pay level.
Let's say the employee produced 120 garments last week.
To determine the pay level, we need to see which range of garments produced falls into. In this case, the employee falls into pay level 3 because they produced between 101 and 150 garments.
Now, we can calculate the total gross pay using the following steps:
1. Determine the rate per garment for pay level 3, which is $4.50.
2. Multiply the rate per garment by the number of garments produced (120): $4.50 * 120 = $540.
Therefore, the total gross pay for the employee who produced 120 garments is $540.
