Aregular workweek is 40 hours. overtime pay is time and one-half): manual is a word-processor operator. he makes $13.50 an hour. determine his gross earnings for a week if he worked 54 hours.

Overtime is over 40 so subtract 40 from 54 and get
54-40=14
14 hours hovertime
so multipliy usuall pay by 40 (since worked 40 normal hours) then add to overtime pay by 14 hours so

(13.5 times 40)+(13.5 times 1.5 times 14)=
540+283.5=823.5
answer is $823.50

10,000 hope i ! : )
