Answer: Janet's overtime pay is: " $ 17. 19 per hour ."
→ and specifically: " $ 77.36 " ;
→ [for the 4.5 hours of overtime pay worked Within the total 44.5 hours Janet worked within the particular Monday to Friday workweek as given within this particular Brainly question/].
__________
Step-by-step explanation:
__________
Note: Let us assume that up to and including "40 hours within a workweek" is paid as a "base rate of regular pay"—and that any hours worked over "40 hours" count as "overtime hours.."
Furthermore: Let us assume that "overtime pay" is paid at the rate of "time and a half". This means that any and all hours worked over 40 hours are "overtime hours"—and that these "overtime hours" are paid at the rate at "1.5 times" the rate of the regular hourly rate.
__________
Note: A secretary is typically a job that is paid by the "hour"; as opposed to certain management positions (which are paid by "salary").
→ So, we shall assume that the secretary, "Janet Henderson", is a "hourly worker"—who is "non-exempt" from being paid "overtime."
→ So, first, given: Janet Henderson worked Monday through Friday for a total of "44.5 hours."
Note: This amount: "44.5 hours" ; is over "40 hours."
{i.e. " [44.5 hours] > [40 hours] ".}.
Note: Any and all hours Janet earned in excess of 40 hours are considered : "overtime hours."
Now: Let us calculate the number of "overtime hours":
→ We subtract: "40"; from the actual amount of hours Janet worked [which is "44.5 hours"] ;
→ " (44.5 − 40) hours " ;
= " 4.5 hours " (of overtime worked).
Now, we are given that Janet's regular pay is: " $ 11.46 per hour."
→ To solve: Find the value of: " (1.5) * ($ 11.46) " ;
Method 1) Use a calculator: to get: " 17. 19 " .
→ The answer is: " $ 17.19 per hour."
Method 2)
→ " 11.46 + [(1/2)* 11.46] " ;
= "11.46 + (11.46 /2)" ;
Note: Let us start by calculating: "(11.46 / 2)" ; that is: "(11.46 ÷ 2)" .
Method A) Note: " 11.46 ÷ 2 = 5.73 " ; → {Using a calculator.}.
Method B)
Using long division; to get: "5.73 " ; as follows:
5.73
2⟌ 11.46
- 10
1.46
- 1.4
0.06
- 0.06
0.00 .
Now: We can write the expression:
→ " 11.46 + [(1/2)* 11.46] " ; as:
→ " 11.46 + 5.73 " ; & then calculate (add the values);
to get" 11.46 + 5.73 = " 17. 19 "
So; Janet's overtime pay is $17.19 per hour.
Other:
To find the specific, exact dollar amount of overtime pay earned for the "4.5 hours" of overtime worked in the particular Monday to Friday workweek as given within the actual question:
→ We multiply this amount—"17.19 dollars"— by the number of overtime hours that Janet worked—"4.5 hours"—as follows:
→ " [tex]\frac{17.19 dollars}{hr} *\frac{4.5 hr}{1}[/tex] " ;
→ The units of "hr" ["hour(s)"] cancel out to: "1 ";
→ {since: ["hr/ hr " = 1 .] } ;
And we have:
→ " (17.19 dollars * 4.5) = _? dollars " ; Solve for: {the "_?_" value.}:
Using a caculator: We get:
→ 77.355 dollars; ⇒ write as: $77.355 ; round to: " $ 77.36 " .
