Transcript text: Find the wages for 50 hours of work, using "time and a half" overtime pay after 40 hours.

Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Determine if Overtime is Applicable

Since the total hours worked $H = 50$ is greater than the overtime threshold $T = 40$, the standard pay is calculated for the threshold hours as $T \times R = 40 \times 15 = 600$, and the overtime pay is calculated as $(H - T) \times R \times M = 10 \times 15 \times 1.5 = 225$.

Step 2: Calculate Total Pay

The total pay is the sum of the standard pay and the overtime pay (if any), which equals $600 + 225 = 825$.

Final Answer:

The total wages for 50 hours worked, considering a standard hourly rate of 15, an overtime rate multiplier of 1.5, and an overtime threshold of 40 hours, is \$825 (rounded to 2 decimal places).
