When we say "double time for Sunday," we can compute the pay by multiplying the pay by 2 and using the given hours, or we can multiply the hours by 2 and use the given pay. It may be easier to do the latter.
... (38 h + 2×8 h) × ($15.50/h) = 54×$15.50 = $837
Wind Song's gross pay for the week will be $837.00.
Answer:
Gross pay = $837
Step-by-step explanation:
Rate of Pay:
General = $15.50/hours
Saturday overtime payment = 15.5*1.5 = $23.25/hours
Sunday overtime payment = 15.5*2 = $31/hours
Hours worked:
Monday through Friday = 38 hours
Sunday = 8 hours
Gross pay:
= (Hours worked Monday through Friday * General Rate) + (Hours worked Sunday * Sunday overtime payment)
=(38*15.5) + (8*31)
= 589 + 248
= 837
