Question

find the (a) straight - time pay, (b) overtime pay, and (c) total pay.

hourly pay (for 40 - hour week)	straight - time pay	overtime rate	overtime hours	overtime pay	total pay
10.25	a.	1$\frac{1}{2}$	5	b.	c
14.525	a.	1$\frac{1}{2}$	4	b.	c
26.675	a.	2	8	b.	c
10.20	a.	2	13	b.	c
32.25	a.	1$\frac{1}{2}$	6.25	b.	c

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate straight - time pay

Straight - time pay is calculated as the hourly pay for a 40 - hour week. So, straight - time pay = Hourly pay×40.

Step2: Calculate overtime pay

Overtime pay = Overtime rate×Overtime hours×Hourly pay. For overtime rate of 1.5, overtime pay = 1.5×Overtime hours×Hourly pay; for overtime rate of 2, overtime pay = 2×Overtime hours×Hourly pay.

Step3: Calculate total pay

Total pay = Straight - time pay+Overtime pay.

For row 5:

• a. Straight - time pay:

$16.20\times40 = 648$

• b. Overtime pay:

The overtime rate is $1.5$, overtime hours are 8, and the hourly pay is $16.20$. So, overtime pay = $1.5\times8\times16.20=194.4$

• c. Total pay:

Total pay = $648 + 194.4=842.4$

For row 6:

• a. Straight - time pay:

$10.25\times40 = 410$

• b. Overtime pay:

The overtime rate is $1.5$, overtime hours are 5, and the hourly pay is $10.25$. So, overtime pay = $1.5\times5\times10.25 = 76.875$

• c. Total pay:

Total pay = $410+76.875 = 486.875$

For row 7:

• a. Straight - time pay:

$14.525\times40=581$

• b. Overtime pay:

The overtime rate is $1.5$, overtime hours are 4, and the hourly pay is $14.525$. So, overtime pay = $1.5\times4\times14.525 = 87.15$

• c. Total pay:

Total pay = $581+87.15 = 668.15$

For row 8:

• a. Straight - time pay:

$26.675\times40 = 1067$

• b. Overtime pay:

The overtime rate is 2, overtime hours are 8, and the hourly pay is $26.675$. So, overtime pay = $2\times8\times26.675=426.8$

• c. Total pay:

Total pay = $1067+426.8 = 1493.8$

For row 9:

• a. Straight - time pay:

$10.20\times40 = 408$

• b. Overtime pay:

The overtime rate is 2, overtime hours are 13, and the hourly pay is $10.20$. So, overtime pay = $2\times13\times10.20 = 265.2$

• c. Total pay:

Total pay = $408+265.2 = 673.2$

For row 10:

• a. Straight - time pay:

$32.25\times40=1290$

• b. Overtime pay:

The overtime rate is $1.5$, overtime hours are 6.25, and the hourly pay is $32.25$. So, overtime pay = $1.5\times6.25\times32.25=302.34375$

• c. Total pay:

Total pay = $1290+302.34375 = 1592.34375$

Answer:

	a. Straight - Time Pay	b. Overtime Pay	c. Total Pay
6	$410$	$76.875$	$486.875$
7	$581$	$87.15$	$668.15$
8	$1067$	$426.8$	$1493.8$
9	$408$	$265.2$	$673.2$
10	$1290$	$302.34375$	$1592.34375$
