Question

I know that calculating overtime rate for time and a half is 1.5 and double time is 2 and triple is 3 and so on...

however my HW math question said "he is paid DOUBLE TIME AND A HALF on Saturdays..."

So what number will I multiply with the number of hours and normal pay rate with this kind of overtime pay???

Please help!!!! Thanks

Answer 1

Continuing the notation

time and a half ---> factor of 1.5
double time and a half ---> factor of 2.5

(in my humble opinion...)
