Question 1: Jim works for $9.50 per hour. His regular hours are 40 per week and he gets time and a half for overtime. Last week he worked for 46.5 hours. How much money did he earn last week?



Question 2: Paula receives a salary of $350 per week plus 2% on sales up to $5000 and 3% on the remaining amount over $5000. Paula averages $8550 in sales per week. What would be her expected total earnings for the week?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. $441.75

2. $456.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

9.5 × 40 = 385

Jim will earn $385 dollars from his regular without overtime every week (pretend that he did not get paid overtime from that week.)

Since he got 40 regular hours plus 6.5 hours for overtime, his pay from last week is $441.75

9.5 × 46.5 = $441.75

Question 2:

Since she has gotten over $5000 in sales from that week, she earned $456.50

8550 - 5000 = $3550

3% of 3550 = 106.5

$350 + $106.5 = $456.50

Her expected total earning from that week is $456.50
