Respuesta :

Fred's overtime rate and pay is $17.925 and $98.5875 respectively

Total payment

  • Amount paid per hour = $11.95

  • Amount paid overtime per hour = $11.95 × 1.5

= $17.925

  • Total hours worked last week = 45 1/2 hours

  • Overwork time = 45 1/2 hours - 40 hours

= 5 1/2 hours

Fred's overtime pay = 5 1/2 hours × $17.925

= 11/2 × 17.925

= $98.5875

Normal work rate = 40 hours × $11.95

= $478

Fred's total pay = Fred's overtime pay + Normal work rate

= $98.5875 + $478

= $576.5875

Therefore, Fred's total pay is $576.5875
