Answer:

He makes $271.25

Step-by-step explanation:

40*6.20= 248.00 (how much he makes working 40 hours)

6.20/2= 3.10 (how much the half is when he works over 40 hours)

6.20+3.10= 9.30 (how much he makes overall. this is his pay "time and a half)

248+9.30+9.30+4.65 (how much he makes while working 40 hours (248), how much he makes with the 2 extra hours (9.30), how much he makes working the half hour (4.65))


Pepe's total earnings for the hours worked is  $271.25.

Pepe's pay for the 40 hours of work.

In order to determine the amount Pepe earned for working 40 hours, multiply his pay per hour by 40 hours.

$6.20 x 40 = $248

Pepe's pay for hours over 40 hours of work

  • Hours worked over 40 hours = 42.5 - 40 = 2.5 hours
  • Amount paid per hour = 1 1/2 x 6.20 = 3/2 x $6.20 = $9.30
  • Total pay for overtime = 2.5 x 9.3 = $23.25

Pepe's total pay

$23.25 + $248 = $271.25
