You currently make $10.06 per hour and receive time and a half for all hours worked over 40 in a week. If you worked 13 hours of overtime in one week, what will be your gross pay?

Answer :

To find your gross pay for the week when you have worked overtime, follow these steps:

1. Determine Your Regular Pay:
- You are paid [tex]$10.06 per hour for standard hours.
- Standard work hours in a week are 40 hours.
- Multiply your hourly rate by the number of standard hours:
\[
10.06 \, \text{dollars/hour} \times 40 \, \text{hours} = 402.40 \, \text{dollars}
\]

2. Calculate Your Overtime Pay:
- Overtime is paid at a rate of "time and a half," which means 1.5 times your regular hourly rate.
- Calculate the overtime rate:
\[
10.06 \, \text{dollars/hour} \times 1.5 = 15.09 \, \text{dollars/hour}
\]
- You worked 13 hours of overtime:
\[
15.09 \, \text{dollars/hour} \times 13 \, \text{hours} = 196.17 \, \text{dollars}
\]

3. Calculate Your Gross Pay:
- Add your regular pay and your overtime pay to get the total gross pay:
\[
402.40 \, \text{dollars} + 196.17 \, \text{dollars} = 598.57 \, \text{dollars}
\]

Your gross pay for the week, including your regular and overtime hours, is $[/tex]598.57.
