Question

Mr. Bryant earns $32 per hour. He regularly works 40 hours per week. If he works 26 overtime hours (at time- and-a-half), would his overtime pay exceed his regular gross pay? Explain your answer.​

Answer 1

Your answer: No. His regular pay for 40 hours is $1,280. His overtime pay for 26 hours is $1,248.

Regular pay = 32 x 40 = $1280

Time and a half = 32 + 16 = $48/hr
48 x 26 = $1248
