Question

Neil's regular wage is $ 11 per hour. He gets $ 15.50 per hour for overtime. He was paid for 160 regular hours and 50 hours of overtime. How much was his total paycheck?

Answer 1

Answer:

$2535

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the the pay he received for the regular hours worked.  To find this, you must multiply the hours worked by his wage.

$11 × 160 = $1760

Next find the the pay received for overtime.  Do the same process as above.

$15.50 × 50 = $775

Now that you have the pay for regular hours and overtime hours, add the two amounts together to find the amount for his total paycheck.

$1760 + $775 = $2535
