Jake Macdonald · Answer 1

62.4 hours = 40 hours (regular rate) + 10 hours (one and half time rate) + 12.4 hours (double rate)

Regular Rate for 40 hours = $7.25 x 40 = $290

One-and-half time Rate for 10 hours = $7.25 x 1.5 x 10 = $108.75

Double Pay Rate for 12.4 hours = 7.25 x 2 x 12.4 = $179.80

Total Pay = $290 + $108.75 + $179.80 = $578.55

Tax = 12% x $578.55 = 0.12 x 578.55 = $69.43

Amount received = $578.55 - $69.43 = $509.12

Answer: $509.12
