Paul Curcio earns $7.65 per hour for regular time up to 40 hours, time-and-a-half for overtime, and double time for working on holidays. Find his gross pay (in $) if he worked 6 holiday hours for a total of 58 hours Monday through Saturday.
Here in the given question, a bit of assumption need to be made regarding the total hours worked for ,58 hours, it is assumed that this 58 hours is excluding of the holidays 6 hours.so the answer will be as follows:
Regular pay = $ 7.65 per hour. Overtime pay = 1.5 × Regular pay i.e $ 7.65 × 1.5 = $ 11.475.
And Holiday pay = 2 × regular pay = 2 × $ 7.65 = $ 15.30.
Here, Regular pay hours = 40 hours , Overtime pay hours = 18 hours (58-40) and Holiday hours = 6
Pay amount = Hours worked × Rate per hour.
Thus,
Gross pay = Regular Pay+ Overtime pay + Holiday Pay.
Gross pay = (40 × $7.65)+ (18 × $ 11.475)+(6 × $15.30)
Gross pay = $ 306 + $ 206.55 + $ 91.80
Gross Pay = $ 604.35
Gross pay = 604 ,( rounded off).
