Question

1. Josie Spelling earns $9.00 per hour and works 40 hours per week. Because
she had to work on Thanksgiving, her employer paid her time and a half for
the additional 6 hours she put in.

Answer 1

Answer:

40×9= $360 regular week

1.5×9= 13.50×6= $81

$360+81= $441

Answer 2

The total earnings Josie made per week is $373.5.

Given,

Josie Spelling earns $9.00 per hour and works 40 hours per week.

Her employer paid her time and a half for the additional 6 hours.

We have,

1 hour = $9

40 hours = 40 x $9 = $360

Regular earnings = $360

Now,

she gets paid for her additional 6 hours.

But she was paid her time and a half for the additional six hours which means she was paid half more than she gets paid for an hour.

Half more = $9/2 = $4.5

So she was paid $13.5 for her additional hours.

i.e $9 + $4.5 = $13.5.

Now,

The total earnings Josie made: regular earnings + additional hours earnings.

$360 + $13.5 = $373.5.

Thus the total earnings Josie made per week is $373.5.
