Problem

How much will Sancia earn when she works 3 hours at time-and-a-half and 4 hours at double time? Her normal pay is $\$ 21.80$ per hour.

Solution

Step 1 :Let's find the pay for time-and-a-half and double time hours separately:

Step 2 :Time-and-a-half pay: \(3 \times 1.5 \times 21.80 = 98.10\)

Step 3 :Double time pay: \(4 \times 2 \times 21.80 = 174.40\)

Step 4 :Add the two amounts to find the total earnings:

Step 5 :\(98.10 + 174.40 = 272.50\)

Step 6 :\(\boxed{272.50}\)
