Heather works 40 hours a week and she earns $11. 50 per hour. When Heather works over 40 hours, her pay is 1. 5 times her hourly pay. How much does Heather earn if she works 46 hours in one week?.

Respuesta :

11.5 x 40 is 460
11.5 x 1.5 is 17.25
17.25 x 6 is 103.5
103.5 + 460 is 563.5
the answer is $563.50

The amount that Heather earns if she works 46 hours in one week is; $563.5

Amount she earns per hour if she works for 40 hours a week = $11.5 per hour

If she works over 40 hours, her hourly pay is 1.5 times the previous rate.

Thus;

Amount she earned for 40 hours is;

11.5 × 40 = $460

Amount she earned for the 6 extra hours to make it 46 hours is;

1.5 × 11.5 × 6 = $103.5

Total amount she earned for the 46 hours = $460 + $103.5 = $563.5
