Working out the different pay rates earned by Ike Phillips :

  • Time and half pay rate = $17.055
  • Double pay rate = $22.74
  • Time and half earning = $114.2685
  • Double rate earning = $77.316
  • Gross earning = $646.3845

Let :

Regular rate = $11.37

Total earning for the week = $454.80

Double pay hours = 3.4

Time and half pay hours = 6.7

  • Time and half pay rate = 1.5 × regular pay rate = 1.5 × 11.37 = $17.055

  • Double pay rate = 2 × regular pay rate = 2 × 11.37 = $22.74

  • Time and half earning = rate × time = $17.055 × 6.7 = $114.2685

  • Double rate earning = rate × time = $22.74 × 3.4 = $77.316

  • Gross earning = (regular + time and half + double earning) = $(454.80+114.2685+77.316) = $646.3845

Therefore, Ike's gross earning for the week is $646.3845
