Respuesta :

Answer:1. 40 hours  2).7.3 hours, 3).$480 4).$611.4

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1

stating all requirements

regular hour = 40 hours  at $12  an hour

overtime = beyond  40 hours at $18 an hour

Step 2--- Solving out

1. Steve worked 40 regular time hours

2. Over time hours =Total 47.3 hours - 40 regular time hours = 7.3 hours

3. Regular time pay = Regular tmes hours x regular time pay rate

= 40 x $12 =$480

4) Steve gross pay = Regular time pay + overtime pay

                              = $480 + ( 7.3 hours x $18)

                              =$480+$131.4

                              =$611.4
