Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jill worked 44 regular hours and 8 overtime hours (52-44=8). Her regular pay is $10 per hour and therefore her regular wages for 44 hours will be 44 x$10= $440. For the remaining 8 overtime hours, her rate of pay will be one and one-half times her regular rate, which is $10 x1.5= $15 per hour. Therefore, she will receive 8 x$15= $120 in overtime pay. Adding her regular pay and overtime pay, her gross wages will be $440+$120= $560.
