Question

What is the regular amount? Overtime pay, and gross pay?

Answer 1

Write out the total number of hours Janet worked

$Janet\text{ worked 43 hours}$

Write out the regular paid amount per hour

$\text{regular paid amount=\ 15 per hour}$

Write out the overtime paid amount per hour

$\begin{gathered} \text{Overtime paid amount=1.5}\times\text{ \ 15 per hour} \\ =\text{ \ 22.5 per hour} \end{gathered}$

Separate the regular hour of work from the over time

$\begin{gathered} \text{Total hour worked by Janet is 43hours} \\ \text{Total number of regular hour hour is 40 hours} \\ \text{Total number over time hour =(43-40) hours}=\text{ 3 hours} \end{gathered}$

Calculate the amount for a regular hour

$\begin{gathered} \text{Amount for regular hour =Regular paid amount per hour }\times number\text{ of hours} \\ =\text{ \ 15}\times40 \\ =\text{ \ 600} \end{gathered}$

Calculate the amount paid for an overtime hour

$\begin{gathered} \text{The amount for overtime hour= Overtime amount per hour }\times nmber\text{ of overtime hour} \\ =\text{ \ 2.25}\times3 \\ =\text{ \ }67.5 \end{gathered}$

Calculate the gross pay

$\begin{gathered} \text{Gross pay= Amount for regular hour + amount for overtime hour} \\ =\text{ \ 600+ \ }67.5 \\ =\text{ \ }667.5 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the regular pay amount is $600, Overtime pay is $67.5, gross pay is $667.5
