Answer 1

The gross earnings is `=876.15$`

Explanation:

The hourly rate is `H=17.70$`

For overtime `t>7.5h`,

the hourly rate is `H_1=17.70*1.5=26.55$`

For week ends,

the hourly rate is `H_1=17.70*1.5=26.55$`

The total normal hours worked is

`t=4.5+0+7.5+7.5+6=25.5h`

The salary is `S_1=Ht=17.7*25.5=451.35$`

The overtime is `t_1=1h`

The salary is `S_2=H_1t_1=26.55*1=26.55$`

The time worked for the week end is

`t_2=6+9=15h`

The salary is `S_3=H_1*t_2=26.55*15=398.25$`

The total earnings are

`S=S_1+S_2+S_3=451.35+26.55+398.25=876.15$`
