Question

true or false: your total pay is $1,250.75 if you work 50 hours in a week at $25 per hour and overtime pay is time and a half.
true
false

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate regular pay

Assume 40 regular hours: $40 \times 25 = 1000$

Step2: Calculate overtime hours

$50 - 40 = 10$ hours

Step3: Calculate overtime rate

$25 \times 1.5 = 37.5$ per hour

Step4: Calculate overtime pay

$10 \times 37.5 = 375$

Step5: Calculate total pay

$1000 + 375 = 1375$

Step6: Compare with given amount

$1375
eq 1250.75$, so false.

Answer:

False
