Answer to Question #171118 in Financial Math for Tiara

Question

Charlotte earns time-and-a-half on

Saturdays and double time on

Sundays. She works 35 hours from

Monday to Friday, 8 hours on

Saturday and 5 hours on Sunday.

Calculate Charlotte’s total earnings if

her normal rate of pay is $15.40 per

hour.

Answer 1

Normal pay (Monday to Friday) = 35 $\times$ $15.40 = $539

Saturday pay = 8 $\times$ $15.40 $\times$ 1.5 = $184.8

Sunday pay = 5 $\times$ $15.40 $\times$ 2 = $154

Total pay = $877.80
