1. if an employee is paid $15.00 per hour as a regular rate of pay and paid time and one-half for all hours in excess of 35 hours in one week, calculate his gross pay if he worked 44 hours in one week.

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate regular pay for 35 hours

$$35 \text{ hours} \times $15.00/\text{hour} = $525.00$$

Step2: Determine overtime hours worked

$$44 \text{ hours} - 35 \text{ hours} = 9 \text{ hours}$$

Step3: Calculate the overtime hourly rate

$$$15.00 \times 1.5 = $22.50/\text{hour}$$

Step4: Calculate total overtime pay

$$9 \text{ hours} \times $22.50/\text{hour} = $202.50$$

Step5: Sum regular and overtime pay

$$$525.00 + $202.50 = $727.50$$

Answer:

$727.50
