Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wilson worked a total of 9 hours x 5 days + 6 hours on Saturday + 4 hours on Sunday = 55 hours.

For the first 40 hours, she is paid her regular hourly rate of $12 per hour.

For the remaining 15 hours, she is paid at a rate of 1.5 times her regular hourly rate:

1.5 x $12 = $18 per hour

Therefore, her total overtime pay for the week is:

($18 x 15) + ($12 x 4) = $270 + $48 = $318

However, she also worked on Sunday, which means she earns double time for those 4 hours:

2 x $12 = $24 per hour

So her total earnings for Sunday are:

4 hours x $24 per hour = $96

Therefore, her total overtime earnings for the week ended July 3 are:

$318 + $96 = $414

Rounding to the nearest dollar, the answer is $294.
