Question
Anna is paid $15.00 per hour.She works a long 12 hour shift, the last 4 hours being paid a double time pay rate.What is Anna's wage before tax?
Solution
To calculate Anna's wage before tax, we need to consider her normal pay rate and her double time pay rate.
-
First, calculate her earnings for the first 8 hours of her shift. She is paid 15.00 = $120.00.
-
For the last 4 hours of her shift, she is paid double time. This means her pay rate for these hours is 2 * 30.00 per hour. So for 4 hours, she earns 4 * 120.00.
-
Finally, add these two amounts together to find her total wage before tax. 120.00 (from the last 4 hours) = $240.00.
So, Anna's wage before tax is $240.00.
