Brian is a junior and is paid $18.42 per hour. Calculate
his weekly wage if he works 38 hours at the normal
rate and 6 hours overtime at time-and-a-half.

$865.74

Step-by-step explanation:

Time-and-a-half wage means you multiply the regular hourly rate by 1.5.

Regular wage: 38 hours at $18.42/hour

Time-and-a-half: 6 hours at 1.5 * $18.42/hour

Total weekly wage:

38 hours at $18.42/hour + 6 hours at 1.5 * $18.42/hour =

= 38 * $18.42 + 6 * 1.5 * $18.42

= $699.96 + $345.78

= $865.74

His weekly wage is $865.74

answer: 42

use a calculator to find that 845/73 = 11.575

the whole part of the answer is 11. multiply this by 73 to get 11*73 = 803.

subtract that result from 845 to get 845 - 803 = 42
