Answer:
Gross pay = $2496
Step-by-step explanation:
Erica earns $24 an hour. She works extra shifts and earns time and a half for each hour.
Her extra earning starts over 40 hours.
Therefore, her extra earning above 40 hours = 1.5 × 24
= $36 per hour
She worked for 44 hours in last week, her total earnings for last week
= (40 × $24) + (4 × $36)
= 960 + 144
= $1104
She worked for 52 hours this week, her total earnings for this week
= (40 × $24) + (12 × $36)
= 960 + 432
= $1392
Since, Erica was paid biweekly,
Her gross income = $1104 + $1392
= $2496
