Question

an employees wages is Rs 30/hour up to
40 hour overtime is twice the regular wages. if he was paid Rs 1680 how many hours overtime did he work​

Answer 1

Answer: The employee works for 8 hours overtime.

Step-by-step explanation: It is mentioned that the hourly wage of the employee is ₹ 30/hr.

If the employee works for 40 regular hours, his total wage would be

30 * 40 = ₹ 1200

The total wage earned by the employee is ₹ 1680.

Thus, the excess amount, ₹ (1680 - 1200) = ₹ 480 is earned by the employee by working overtime.

It is mentioned that the overtime wage is twice the regular payment.

This implies that the overtime wage is ₹60/hr.

Hence, to earn ₹480, the employee would have to work $\frac{480}{60}$ hours.

Hence, the employee works for 8 extra hours.
