Lauryn Landry · Answer 1

The four employees earned $ 452.80 in total

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Hour rate = $ 8.20

Overtime hour rate = $ 2.20 extra

Regular hours = 10

Overtime hours = 3

Number of employees = 4

2. How much money did they earn in total?

Let's find out the individual pay for an employee and then we'll calculate the pay for the 4 employees:

Individual pay = 10 * 8.20 + 3 * 10.40

Individual pay = $ 113.20

Total pay = Individual pay * 4

Total pay = 113.20 * 4

Total pay = $ 452.80
