Assume that john smith is a salesperson employed by mccrackin company. smith's regular rate of pay is $36 per hour, and any hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week are paid at 1½ times the regular rate. smith worked 42 hours for the week ended october 27. what are his total earnings for the week?

$1548

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told the normal rate of payment is $36 per hour

and with an excess of 40 hours the pay will be 1 and a half the normal rate(1.5)

And John works for 42hours

For first we know John worked for an excess of 2 hours

And calculating his pay for 40hours of the normal rate that week, we multiply $36 by 40 which will give $1440

Then the extra 2 hours, the new pay rate will be $36 multiplied by 1.5 which will give $54 per hour

And for the extra 2 hours, John will get extra $54 multiplied by 2 which will give $108

Adding both $1440 and $108, we will get $1548
