the total number of overtime hours worked by employees

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

40 × $9.5 = $380.00 (is basic paid for a 40-hour week)

$9.5 × 1.5 = $14.25 (the overtime wage)

$14.25 × 6 = $85.50 (is paid to employee who works 6 hours overtime)

$380 × 30 = $11,400.00

$12,084.00 - $11,400.00 = $684.00 (total overtime paid)

$684.00 ÷ 30 = $22.8 (is overtime paid for 1 employee)

$22.8 ÷ $14.25 = 1.6 hours of overtime warked
