Answer 6

First, add all the hours for the worker.
Then subtract 40 from the total hours.
If the difference is positive, that is the number of extra hours.
For the 40 hours, multiply 40 by the regular pay rate.
For the extra hours, multiply the number of extra hours by the pay rate and by 1.5
Then add the two amounts of the last two lines above.

Answer 7

So the top one is 44 added together and the bottom is 38. Subtracting 40 would be 4 and -2.
I'm not sure what else you want me to do.

Answer 9

The first one is correct.
Check the total number of hours of the second one.

Answer 10

So its be 46-40=6. I mustve missed an 8 haha

Answer 11

Ok. Now you're good.
Let's see what you have done so far, and what it means.

Jason Pick worked 44 hours.
He worked a regular work week of 40 hours, plus 4 hours of overtime.

Alicia Mitze worked 46 hours.
She worked a regular work week of 40 hours, plus 6 hours of overtime.

Ok so far?

Answer 12

Good so far!

Answer 13

@mathstudent55

Answer 14

Great.
Now we can go on.

Each person has a hourly salary.

For the regular work week, Jason earns $11.35 per hour.
Now we need to calculate how much Jason earns for his regular work week.
Multiply his hourly salary by the 40 hours.
What is 40 * $11.35?

Answer 15

454

Answer 16

and the bottom would be 480 @mathstudent55

Answer 17

Correct.
You have now both of their regular work week earnings.
Now you need to calculate the overtime for each one.

Answer 18

Jason: $454 + overtime
Alicia: $480 + overtime

Answer 19

The hourly rate for overtime is 1.5 times the regular salary.
Jason worked 4 hours of overtime.
Alicia worked 6 hours of overtime.

To find how much each one earned from overtime, multiply the hourly salary by 1.5 and by the number of overtime hours.

Answer 20

I got 68.1 for Jason and 108 for Alicia. Is that correct @mathstudent55

Answer 21

Great work!
Now just add the regular work week salary to the overtime salary for each one.
Jason: $454 + $68.10
Alicia: $480 + $108

Answer 22

$522.1
$588

Answer 23

So would that be the gross earning? @mathstudent55

Answer 24

Correct.
The gross pay is the amount earned from salary before any taxes or deductions are taken off.
