Assuming you worked 50 hours last week, the total amount of money that you earned based on the work rate described above, is $825.
When you work for 40 hours in a week, you are normally paid $15 for each of those hours. This means that out of the 50 hours you worked, the normal salary you made was:
= Number of hours in week x Amount per hour
= 40 x 15
= $600
The total amount of hours you worked over 40 was:
= 50 - 40
= 10 hours
For these 10 hours, you are paid 1.5 your normal rate of $15 per hour which means that you made:
= 10 x 15 x 1.5
= $225
The total you made was therefore:
= Normal salary x Amount earned for working over 40 hours
= 600 + 225
= $825
In conclusion, you earned $825 last week.
