Jane earns $7.50 an hour and time-and-a-half for overtime. How
much does she earn for a 43.5-hour week?
a. $300
b. $363.50
c. $333.75
d. $339.38
First, we need to calculate Jane's regular pay for 40 hours (her normal work week).
Regular pay = 40 hours x $7.50/hour = $300
Next, we need to calculate her overtime pay for the additional 3.5 hours.
Overtime pay = 3.5 hours x $7.50/hour x 1.5 = $39.38
Finally, we add her regular pay and overtime pay together.
Total pay = $300 + $39.38 = $339.38
Therefore, the answer is d. $339.38.
