carpenter earns $13.65 an hour
gets time-and-a-half for overtime
what should be the carpenter's salary for a 47.25-hour work week?
..
For normal working he gets $13.65/hour
So for the first 40 hours he gets 13.65*40= $546
..
The extra hours are 7.25
the rate for extra hour is 13.65*1.5= $ 20.47
..
So overtime charges will be 7.25*20.47=148.40
Total salary will be 48.40+546=$596.40
