Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ronaldo's regular pay for the week is:

$20/hour x 40 hours = $800

Ronaldo worked 5 hours of overtime (45 total hours - 40 regular hours) and his company pays time and a half (1.5) for overtime. Therefore, his overtime pay is:

$20/hour x 1.5 = $30/hour
$30/hour x 5 hours = $150

His total gross pay for the week is the sum of his regular pay and overtime pay:

$800 + $150 = $950.

Therefore, the best choice is D.
