Lizzy: An employee makes 30 dollars an hour for the first 40 hours in the workweek and an additional 50% for every hour above 40 in the week. If he works 6 hours for the first 3 days in the workweek and twice as many hours per day for the remaining 2 days, how much money did he make?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
His overtime pay per hour is 30 * 1.5 = $45 per hour. He works 6 * 2 = 12 hours per day for the last two days. He works 6 + 6 + 6 + 12 + 12 = 42 hours. He gets 42 - 40 = 2 hours of overtime. He makes 40 * 30 + 2 * 45 = $1290 for the week. Final answer: 1290.
