Kierra earns $13.35 per hour at Glendale Florist. She regularly works 40 hours per week. She is paid double for each hour of overtime work. Last week she worked 45.5 hours. What was her gross pay for the week?

Answer :

The time for Kierra work overtime is,

[tex]45.5-40=5.5[/tex]

The pay for the overtime work for an hour is,

[tex]2\cdot13.35=26.7[/tex]

Determine the gross pay of the week.

[tex]\begin{gathered} P=40\cdot13.35+5.5\cdot26.7 \\ =534+146.85 \\ =680.85 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So gross pay for the week is $680.85.
