Find the overtime rate at time and one half if the regular rate is $12.24.

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

overtime rate for time and a half... 12.24/2 + 12.24 = time and a half overtime rate

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

any questions ?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

what you do is take your regular time and then add half of your regular time-- time and a half.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um the answer isn't coming out right for me. I know that the answer is 184

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean by regular time?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

no....the answer is $ 18.36 you regular time is what you normally get paid per hour so, time and a half would be regular pay + half of your regular pay (time and a half)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh what am I saying you are right sorry.. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so first you divide 12.24 by 2?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

understand ? Lets say you normally get paid $10 per hour. You get time and a half for overtime. You would get paid 10.00 + 5.00 = 15.00 per hour

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

it is your regular pay + half of your regular pay

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

yes....divide 12.24 by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so yo you would split 12.24 in half?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

yes....then add that back to 12.24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok so then you would get $6,12 12.24 plus 6.12 is $18.36 Thank you! :)

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

you got it :)

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

glad I could help :)
