Gross salary

At a manufacturing company, the employees were paid an hourly rate of 8.75 plus time and a half for any hours worked over 8 per day. Find the gross pay for Vic when the time card shows the following :

Monday 8
Tuesday 10
Wednesday 10
Thursday 8h
Friday 11h
Sat 6h

Correct answer:

x =  494.375

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} r=8.75 \\ p=r+r/2=8.75+8.75/2=\frac{105}{8}=13\frac{1}{8}=13.125 \\ {t}_1=8+8+8+8+8+6=46\text{h} \\ {t}_2=0+2+2+0+3+0=7\text{h} \\ x=t_1\cdot r+t_2\cdot p=46\cdot 8.75+7\cdot 13.125=494.375 \end{gathered}$$
