Answer 1

ANSWER:

a. $760

b. $320

c. $1080

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Given:

Regular payment: $20/hr

Sunday payment: $40/hr

Regular work: 38 hours

Sunday work: 8 hours

Therefore:

The regular payment would be:

$p_r=38\cdot20=\text{\ 760}$

Overtime pay would be:

$p_o=8\cdot40=\text{\ 320}$

The total salary is the sum of both salaries:

$p_t=760+320=\text{ \ 1080}$
