Problema Solution
Grace worked from 7:00 AM to 6:30 PM. She gets paid $13 per hour and "time and a half" for any hours over 8. How much did she get paid?

Grace works from 7 am to 6:30 pm with no breaks for lunch, etc. From 7 to 12 is 5 hrs and from 12 to 3 is 3 hours so that is 8*13 = $104. Now Grace works from 3 to 6:30 so that means she gets 3.5 hours overtime at 1.5 times her pay. so 3.5 * 13*1.5 = $68.25 Now add these two and you get
$172.25
