Math Problem Statement

Your base hourly rate of pay is $24.08. On Saturdays, you are paid an additional 25% per hour. How much do you earn on Saturday if you work a 7.5 hour shift?

Solution

To calculate how much you earn on a Saturday shift of 7.5 hours with a base hourly rate of $24.08 and a 25% bonus per hour, follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the Saturday hourly rate: = 24.08 + 6.02 = 30.10$$
  2. Calculate the total earnings for 7.5 hours: Total earnings=30.10×7.5=225.75\text{Total earnings} = 30.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75

So, your total earnings for a 7.5-hour shift on Saturday are $225.75.
