Respuesta :
If Pete works for 45.25 hours during the week and 5.75 hours on Saturday, his earning will be]$981.68
From the question, Pete's regular work week is 40 hours and his regular salary is $15.77/h.
To determine how much Pete will make if he works 45.25 hours during the week and 5.75 hours on Saturday,
If he worked 45.25 hours during the week, then he has worked 5.25 hours overtime, since his regular work week is 40 hours.
From the question, he earns time and a half for overtime hours worked during the week (Monday to Friday), that is,
∴ For working 5.25 hours overtime, he will earn for 5.25hours × 1.5 = 7.875 hours
Also, from the question, he earns double time and half if he has to work on a Saturday
∴ For working 5.75 hours on Saturday, he will earn for 5.75 hours × 2.5 = 14.375 hours
Since his regular salary is $15.77/h,
Therefore, Pete will earn
40 × $15.77 = $630.8 (for his regular work week)
7.875 × $15.77 = $124.18875 (for overtime hours worked during the week)
and 14.375 × $15.77 = $226.69375 (for working on Saturday)
Hence, if Pete works for 45.25 hours during the week and 5.75 hours on Saturday, his earning will be $630.8 + $124.18875 + $226.69375 = $981.6825 ≅ $981.68
