Question

Hugo works in a shop. His normal rate of pay is £9.00 per hour. When Hugo works on Sundays, he is paid overtime for each hour. The overtime rate of pay is 1⅓ times his normal hourly rate. Last weekend, Hugo worked 7 hours on Saturday and 4 hours on Sunday. Work out how much Hugo earned during that weekend.

Answer 1

Hugo earned £111.00 during that weekend.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hugo's normal rate of pay = £9.00 per hour.

Overtime pay = $1\frac{1}{3}\times 9 = \frac{4}{3}\times 9$ = £12.00 per hour.

Last weekend, Hugo worked 7 hours on Saturday.

Money earned on Saturday = 7 x £9.00 = £63.00

Hugo worked 4 hours on Sunday.

Money earned on Sunday = 4 x £12.00 = £48.00

Hugo earned during that weekend = £ 63.00 + £48.00 = £111.00

Hence, Hugo earned £111.00 during that weekend.
