Given the statement:
Jan Quint earns $11.00 an hour at her job and is entitled to time-and-a-half for overtime, and double time on holidays. Last week she worked 40 hours of regular time, 9 hours of overtime, and 12 hours of holiday time.
Determine how much did she earn.
Solution:
In order to determine how much did she earn in total, we manually solve for each payment base on the number of hours and work type.
Regular time rate : $11
= (40)($11)
=$440
Overtime rate: $5.5
= (9)($5.5)
= $49.5
Holiday time rate: $22
= (12)($22)
=$264
Add all the rates together.
= $440 + $49.5 + $264
= $753.5
Final answer:
= $753.5
