Rufus works an average of 46 hours each week. He gets paid $5.70 per
hour and time-and-a-half for all hours over 40 hours. What is his annual
income?
How many weeks does he work a year?
52 weeks
40 * 52 * 5.7 = 11,856 regular pay
5.7 * 1.5 * 6 * 52 = ______ overtime pay
Add the two numbers together.
To calculate Rufus's annual income, we need to consider his regular pay for 40 hours per week and his overtime pay for hours over 40.
First, let's calculate his regular pay:
Rufus earns $5.70 per hour for 40 hours per week, so his regular pay per week is 40 * $5.70 = $<<40*5.70=228>>228.
Next, let's calculate his overtime pay:
Rufus works an average of 46 hours per week, which means he works 6 hours of overtime each week.
For overtime hours, Rufus gets paid time-and-a-half, which is $5.70 * 1.5 = $<<5.70*1.5=8.55>>8.55 per hour.
So, Rufus earns an additional $8.55 per hour for each of the 6 hours of overtime, which means he earns $8.55 * 6 = $<<8.55*6=51.30>>51.30 in overtime pay per week.
Now, let's calculate his total weekly income:
Rufus's regular pay is $228, and his overtime pay is $51.30, so his total weekly income is $228 + $51.30 = $<<228+51.30=279.30>>279.30.
Finally, let's calculate his annual income:
There are 52 weeks in a year, so Rufus's annual income is $279.30 * 52 = $<<279.30*52=14,503.60>>14,503.60.
Therefore, Rufus's annual income is $14,503.60.
