Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Derrick's pay for his regular hours is:
46 hours x $13.50/hour = $621.00

Derrick worked overtime, which is any hours worked beyond 40 hours. Therefore, he worked 46 - 40 = 6 overtime hours.

His overtime rate is 1.5 times his regular rate, so his overtime pay is:
6 hours x $13.50/hour x 1.5 = $121.50

Therefore, his total weekly pay is:
$621.00 + $121.50 = $742.50

Therefore, the correct choice is B.
