What is Eric's gross pay , including overtime and double time
He earns $9.24 per hour He gets time and a half for over time and double time for work on Saturday He worked 52 hours this week, with 8 hours overtime and for hours on Saturday
$9.24 x 1.5 = $13.86
$9.24 x 2= $18.48
$18.48 x52 =$948.48 gross pay
40 hrs x 9.24 = $369.60 base pay
8 hrs x 9.24 x 1.5 = 110.88 for overtime
4 hrs x 9.24 x 2 = 73.92 for Saturday
Total = 554.40
A quicker way to do it is to treat the 52 hours as 40 + 8x1.5 + 4x2 = 60 hours at the base wage of 9.24

Let's break down the steps to calculate Eric's gross pay, including overtime and double time.
1. Calculate Eric's regular earnings for the 52 hours he worked.
Eric earns $9.24 per hour, so we multiply that by the number of hours worked: $9.24 x 52 = $480.48
2. Calculate Eric's overtime earnings.
He worked 8 hours of overtime, which means he is entitled to time and a half. To calculate the overtime earnings, multiply the overtime hours by the overtime rate: 8 x ($9.24 x 1.5) = $110.88
3. Calculate Eric's double time earnings for working on Saturday.
He worked 4 hours on Saturday, and for those hours he earns double his regular rate. Multiply the hours by the double time rate: 4 x ($9.24 x 2) = $73.92
4. Add up all the earnings to find the gross pay.
Calculate the total earnings by adding the regular earnings, overtime earnings, and double time earnings: $480.48 + $110.88 + $73.92 = $665.28
Therefore, Eric's gross pay, including overtime and double time, is $665.28.
