Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kari worked for 40 hours - 6 hours of unpaid leave + 8 hours of holiday pay, which equals 42 hours. 
For the 42 hours she worked, she will receive her standard pay for 40 hours plus time-and-a-half pay for 2 hours of overtime, and double-time pay for 8 hours of holiday pay. 
Therefore, Kari will be paid for 40 + 3 + 16 = 59 hours. However, since she only worked 42 hours, the answer is 42.
