Question

Ward Johnson worked 45 hours last week at $8 per hour. He receives time and a half for all hour over 40 hours. What was his gross pay for the week?

Answer 1

Ward will receive $8 an hour for forty hours:
40 x 8 =320

Ward will receive time and a half (8 x 1.5, or $12) for 5 hours:
5 x 12 =60

Add these products together and you will get $380, Ward's pay for the week.
Hope this helped!
