Her over time pay would be $18.30/hr

12.2 +(1/2 12.2) =18.30

The one and a half thing can be converted to find extra money paid for overtime.

Mrs Roper's hourly overtime rate is given by Option C: $18.30

Given that:

  • Mrs Roper's normal work's pay rate is $12.20 per hour
  • Her overtime is paid one and a half of normal work's payment rate.

To find:

Mrs Roper's hourly overtime rate.

Finding the overtime hourly rate:

One and a half of a thing means that thing itself + that thing's half

Thus, we have:

One hour overtime payment = one hour normal work's payment + half of one hour normal work's payment

or

[tex]\text{Hourly overtime rate} = $12.20 + \dfrac{12.20}{2} = 12.20 + 6.10 = \$18.30[/tex]

Thus, Mrs Roper's hourly overtime rate is given by Option C: $18.30
