Math Problem Statement

Your Base hourly rate of pay is 24.08 on Saturday's, 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 your earnings for a 7.5-hour shift on a Saturday with an additional 25% pay per hour, follow these steps:

  1. Base hourly rate: $24.08

  2. Additional pay on Saturday: 25% of $24.08

    0.25×24.08=6.020.25 \times 24.08 = 6.02

  3. Total hourly rate on Saturday:

    24.08+6.02=30.1024.08 + 6.02 = 30.10

  4. Total earnings for a 7.5-hour shift:

    30.10×7.5=225.7530.10 \times 7.5 = 225.75

So, you would earn $225.75 for a 7.5-hour shift on Saturday.
