Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lucie Ball worked 48 hours last week, which means she worked 8 hours over the standard 40 hours for the week. For those 8 hours, she would receive one and one-half times her regular rate of pay.

Regular pay for 40 hours = $15/hr x 40 hrs = $600
Overtime pay for 8 hours = $15/hr x 1.5 x 8 hrs = $180

Total gross pay = Regular pay + Overtime pay = $600 + $180 = $780.

Therefore, the correct answer is C, $780.

Lucie Ball's Regular Rate of Pay Is $15 Per Hour
