Answer:

b. Hourly pay. Hourly employees make more per week than salaried employees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's calculate the total number of hours an employee will work:

Total number of hours = [tex]8+8+9+9.5+7.5+4[/tex]

                                      =[tex]46[/tex]

So total number of hours an employee will work is 46 hours.

An employee gets paid $30 per hour up to 40 hours.

Payment for 40 hours = [tex]40\times20[/tex]

                                     =[tex]800[/tex]

Payment for extra hours worked =[tex]6\times30[/tex]

                                                       =[tex]180[/tex]

Total wage per week = [tex]800+180[/tex]

                                    = [tex]980[/tex]

So total payment received per week = $980

Number of weeks per year = [tex]\frac{365}{7}[/tex]

                                            ≈  [tex]52[/tex]

Total payment per week for a salaried employee :

                                             =[tex]50,00/52[/tex]

                                             =[tex]961.5384[/tex]

Therefore, Hourly employees will get paid more per week than salaried employees.
