  5. Marcus works as an electrician and makes $25.68 per hour. If he works 15 hours, how much will he make? • Multiply the hourly wage by the number of hours worked to find your answer. • This questions represents an hourly wage.

  6. Martha works as a seamstress. She charges $16.72 per hour and it takes her five hours to complete a curtain. What will be her gross pay for the job? • This is an hourly wage. Multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours worked to find the gross income. • 16.72 x 5 =

  7. Ben works as a carpenter for $20.57/hour. How much will he earn in a 40 hour work week. • This is an hourly rate question. Multiply the rate by the number of hours worked to find your solution. • 20.57 x 40 =

  8. Youssef works for a trucking company and earns $35.75 per hour. Last week he worked the following hours: • Sunday – 6 hours • Monday – 3 hours • Tuesday – 7 hours • Wednesday – 8 hours What is his gross income for the week?

  9. Nayera works for 36 hours in one week and earns $412.13 as her gross income. How much does Nayera earn per hour. • In this question you need to determine her hourly wage, not her gross income. Divide $412.13 by 36 to find your answer.

  10. Time Cards

  11. Overtime • Most workplaces have 40 hour work weeks. • Some places have different standards for work weeks. • If you exceed the number of hours for your work week, you start to make overtime. • Overtime is often paid as “time and a half”.

  12. Marcel makes $15.62 per hour during a 37.5 hour work week. He is paid time and a half for every hour he works over 37.5 hours. If he works 42.5 hours, how much will he make? • Time and a half = 1.5 • 1.5 x 15.62 = His overtime salary. • Then, you can calculate his regular rate and add his overtime rate to his wage. • 15.62 x 37.5 = regular work week THEN His overtime salary + the number of overtime hours (5 hours). Add these two calculations together to find the correct answer.

  13. When Omar works more than 34.75 hours in a week, he earns overtime at a rate of time and a half. If Omar works 40.25 hours, how much will he make? His regular rate of pay is $21.35.
