A college cafeteria pays student cashiers $10.20 per hour. Cashiers earn an additional $1.30 per hour for each hour worked over 35 hours per week. A cashier worked 40 hours one week and 38 hours the second week. How much did this cashier earn in this two-week period?
Accepted Solution
A:
First week: 40 hours
Total Earning = 40 x $10.20 + (40 - 35) x $1.30 = $414.50
Second Week: 38 hours Total Earning = 40 x $10.20 + (40 - 38) x $1.30 = $410.60
Total for the two weeks = $414.50 + $410.60 = $825.10
