Question: Bob gets paid $5 an hour for the regular hours he works and $6 an hour for any overtime hours he works. All hours over 40 in a week are considered overtime. If Bob works 44 hours in the first week and 48 hours in the second week, how much did he make?
Answer:
Bob has worked 40 hours / week x 2 weeks = 80 regular hours. Bob got paid 80 hours x $5 / hour = $400 for his regular hours. Bob worked 44 hours - 40 hours = 4 hours of overtime in the first week. Bob worked 48 hours - 40 hours = 8 hours of overtime in the second week. In total Bob worker 8 hours + 4 hours = 12 hours of overtime. Bob got paid $6 / hour x 12 hours = $72 for overtime. In 2 weeks Bob earned $400 + $72 = $472. The answer is 472.
