Php 45.50 x 5 holidays (regular pay has been added on regular hours no need to multiply the regular rate by 2) = Php 227.50

Php 1,820 + Php 141 + Php 227.50 = Php 2,188.50

Answer 2

Given:

No. of hours per week = 40

Amount paid per hour = Rs 45.50

Amount paid for working overtime per hour = 1.5×45.50 = Rs 68.25

Amount paid for working on holiday per hour = 2×45.50 = Rs 91

To Find:

The amount paid to the clerk if he works 3 hours overtime and 5 hours on a holiday.

Solution:

The clerk works 40 hours per week and the rate is Rs 45.50 per hour. So in a week, he earns $40*45.50=Rs1820$

The clerk works 3 hours overtime. Given that he will be paid 1.5 times the regular rate. The regular rate is Rs 45.50 per hour. So, the amount he gets when he works overtime per hour is $1.5*45.50=Rs 68.25$

Hence, for 3 hours of overtime, he earns $68.25*3=Rs204.75$

The clerk works 5 hours on a holiday. Given that he will be paid double the regular rate of Rs 45.50 per hour. The amount he gets when he works on a holiday per hour is $2*45.50=Rs91$

Hence, for 5 hours on a holiday, he earns $5*91=Rs455$

In total, the clerk gets an amount of $Rs1820+Rs204.75+Rs455=Rs2479.75$ when he works overtime for 3 hours and 5 hours on a holiday.

The clerk gets an amount of Rs 2479.75 when he works overtime for 3 hours and 5 hours on a holiday.
