Question

you work 44 hours at $17.57 an hour. what is your total pay if overtime pay is time and a half?
○ $880.22
○ $818.22
○ $808.22
○ $806.22

Explanation:

Step1: Identify regular and overtime hours

Assume standard workweek is 40 hours. Regular hours = 40, overtime hours = 44 - 40 = 4.

Step2: Calculate regular pay

Regular pay = 40 × $17.57 = $702.80

Step3: Calculate overtime rate

Overtime rate = $17.57 × 1.5 = $26.355

Step4: Calculate overtime pay

Overtime pay = 4 × $26.355 = $105.42

Step5: Calculate total pay

Total pay = $702.80 + $105.42 = $808.22

Answer:

B. $808.22
