Answer to Question #269579 in C++ for Toby

Question

Write the definition of the value-returning function payCheck that calculates and returns the

amount to be paid to an employee based on the hours worked and rate per hour. The hours

worked and rate per hour are stored in the variables hours and rate , respectively, of the

function main . The formula for calculating the amount to be paid is as follows: For the first 40

hours, the rate is the given rate; for hours

over 40, the rate is 1.5 times the given rate.
