Zahid is paid a set wage of $774.72 for a 36-hour week, plus time-and-a-half for overtime. In one particular week he worked 43 hours. What were Zahid’s earnings that week?


The answer is $1000.68, but I need to find out the working out :) Sadly the textbook only shows the answers and not the full proper working out.

Answer:

$1000.68

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \frac{774.72}{36} = 21.52 \: (per \: hour) \\ \frac{21.52}{2} = 10.76 \: \\ 21.52 + 10.76 = 32.28(per \: hour \: of \: over \: time) \\ \\ 43 - 36 = 7(hours \: of \: overtime) \\ \\ 7 \times 32.28 = 225.96 \\ 774.72 + 225.96 = 1000.68[/tex]
