A clerk

A clerk is paid 45.25 pesos per hour for 40 hours a week. 1.50 times the rate for overtime and double the rate for a holiday. How much does the clerk get if he works overtime for 5 hours and 2 hours on holiday?

Correct answer:

x =  2330.375 p

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=45.25\text{p/h} \\ o=1.50\cdot a=1.50\cdot 45.25=\frac{543}{8}=67.875\text{p/h} \\ h=2\cdot a=2\cdot 45.25=\frac{181}{2}=90.5\text{p/h} \\ x=40\cdot a+5\cdot o+2\cdot h=40\cdot 45.25+5\cdot 67.875+2\cdot 90.5=2330.375\text{p} \end{gathered}$$
