chris works as an electrician with the central electric company. he earns $16.25 per hour with time and a half after 40 hours. if he works 43 hours monday through friday, how much will he earn?
($16.25×40)+($16.25×1.5×3)= $650 + 73.13 = $723.13 *regular hrs *overtime hrs **multiplying the regular wage of $16.25 times 1.5 gives you the overtime, or time and a half, rate.
