in a regular week there are 5 working days and for each day the working hours are 8.A man gets Rs 2.40 per hour for regular work and Rs3.20 per hour for overtime.if he earns Rs 432 in 4 weeks then how many hours does he work for?

Answer 1

160 hrs regular work and 15hrs overtime

Answer 2

Amount earned by working a week Rs. = 2.4x(8x5)

=Rs. 2.4x 40

=Rs. 96

Therefore he earns 96x4=RS. 384.00

Overtime earnings = Total earnings - weekly earnings

= 432 - 384

=Rs. 48

Overtime hours worked = 48 / 3.20

= 15 hours

Therefore

Weekly Total hours worked = Weekly hours + Overtime hours

= (8x5x4) + 15

= 160 + 15

= 175
