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:

t 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 480/60 hours.

Hence, the employee works for 8 extra hours.
