Rodrigo worked his 40 regular hours last week plus 3 overtime hours at the time and-a-half rate. His regular rate is $11.70. How much was his gross pay?



Answer :

Since his regular rate is $11.70 then he earns for his 40 hours:

[tex]11.70\cdot40=468[/tex]

To this we have to add the three overtime hours, but this hours are paid as:

[tex]11.70\cdot1.5=17.55[/tex]

Then for his overtime he earned:

[tex]3\cdot17.55=52.65[/tex]

Therefore he earned in total of $520.65
