Let's take it one part at a time.
If he worked 40 hours, and he gets $5 per hour, then he received 40X5= $200 dollars for those 40 hours.
FOr overtime, he is paid 1 1/2 times his regular pay. How much is that? We just multiply 5 by 1 1/2 and we get $7.5. If he worked 5 hours for $7.5 an hour, then he received 5X7.5= $37.5 for those 5 hours.
In total, he earned $237.50. |

Why can't you just reason this out? Good Grief. There are two parts to this thing, the regular pay for 40 hours and the overtime for 5 hours. Just work out each part and add them together. This is not so difficult and you should almost be able to do this in your head. |

40 hours, at $5 per hr. so $200 from the original.
now for overtime, 5 x 1.5 = $7.5 per hour overtime.
and 5 x 7.5 = $37.50
add the two together and you get $237.50 this week |

Your textbook must be old! Minimum wage is $5.15 an hour!
At any rate, you need to figure out his pay at the regular rate, which is easy: 40 times $5.
Then you need to figure out the overtime pay rate, which is $5 x 1.5 = $7.50 per hour. Multiply that time the hours worked overtime: $7.50 x 5.
Now add the total regular pay to the total overtime pay and you have the answer to your question. |

40 x 5 = 200
5 x (5 x 1.5) = 5 x 7.5 = 37.5
200 + 37.5 = 237.5
$237.50 |

$237.50
5 hours x 1.5=7.5
40 hours + 7.5 = 47.5
47.5 hours x $5.00= $237.50 |

Regular Pay is 40*5 = 200 dollars
Overtime is 5 hours at 1 and 1/2 times 5 dollars per hour, which is 7.50 dollars per hour.
OT Pay is 5 * 7.5 = 37.50 dollars
Total is then 237.50 dollars. |

40 hr * $5 = $200
5 hr * $5 = $25
5 hr * $2.50 = $12.50
total = $237.50 |
