Answer 1

Answer:

$1680

$2040

Step-by-step explanation:

224 hours are required to complete a project.

4 men are employed for this project.

=> Each man work for = 224/4 = 56 hours

The hourly rate of each man is $7.50.

=> each man paid = 56 * 7.5  = $420

All men paid  = 420*4  = $1680

9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with a one-hour lunch break.

=> Working hour Per day = 8 hrs

Total Working hrs for 4 Days for 1 man = 32 hrs

Overtime by 1 man = 56 - 32 = 24 hrs

Each Man Paid = 32 * 7.5  + 24 * 1.5 * 7.5  = $510

All Men Paid = 510*4 = $2040
