Tina makes $18.00 an hour. If she works more than 8 hours per shift, she is eligible for overtime, which is paid by your hourly wage + 1/2 your hourly wage. If she works 10 hours every day for 5 days, how much money does she make? Let's answer step by step:
She works 8 hours a day for $18 per hour so she makes 8 * 18 = $144.00 per 8 - hour shift. She works 10 hours a day and anything over 8 hours is eligible for overtime, so she gets 10 - 8 = 2 hours of overtime. Overtime is calculated as time and a half so and she makes $18 / hour so her overtime pay is 18 * .5 = $9.00. Her overtime pay is 18 + 9 = $27.00. Her base pay is $144.00 per 8 - hour shift and she works 5 days and makes 5 * $144 = $720.00. Her overtime pay is $27.00 per hour and she works 2 hours of overtime per day and makes 27 * 2 = $54.00 in overtime pay. 2 hours of overtime pay for 5 days means she makes 54 * 5 = $270.00. In 5 days her base pay is $720.00 and she makes $270.00 in overtime pay so she makes $720 + $270 = $990.00. The answer: 990.
