1. Carolyn Tan who is a clerk worked 5 ¾ hours beyond the regular 40 hours during the recent week. If she is receiving P75.00 an hour and time and a half for overtime, what was her gross earnings for the week?
If Carolyn Tan's regular rate is 75.00, then her overtime rate is 75.00 x 1.5 = 112.50.
Her regular work week consists of 40 hours; this amount is 75.00 x 40 = 3000.00
If she worked 5 3/4 hours of overtime, this amount is (5 3/4) x 112.50 = 646.88.
The total amount is: 3000.00 + 646.88 = 3646.88.
