Problema Solution
Alan earns a regular pay rate of $8.80 per hour,
before deductions, at his full-time job. If he works
more than 40 hours in a week, he earns overtime at
1.5 times his normal rate for any time worked beyond
40 hours. All of his deductions combined are 35% of
his gross pay. How much does Alan earn after
deductions if he works 48 hours in one week
Answer provided by our tutors
Before deduction:
For the 48 hours Alan will get: 8.80*40 for the 40 hours plus 8.80*(48 - 40)*1.5 for the extra hours that is
8.80*40 + 8.80*(48 - 40)*1.5 = 457.6
After deduction:
457.6 (1 - 0.35) = $297.44
If he works 48 hours in one week Alan will earn $297.44.
