Ariel is working at a meat-packing plant 5 nights a week. her regular wage is $11 an hour. she earns time and a half for any overtime hours. this week she worked 9 hours of overtime. how much will ariel make this week including her overtime?
I believe that Ariel will make first for her 40 hours for 5 days would be 40 x$11/hour = $440. Next, with her 9 hours of overtime that would be paid at $11x1.5= $16.50/hour or $16.50x9=$148.50. So her total pay would be $440+$148.50= $588.50.
