There are 12 hours if one works from 8:30AM-8:30PM He worked and additional 2.25 since he started at 8:15AM and ended at 10:30OM I got .25 for the 15 minutes by performing the following calculation 15/60=1/4 hour.
He gets paid straight time for 8 hours and is calcuated by the number of hoursxthe wage per hour=$10(8)=$80
We next need to calculate how much money he made at a rate of 1.5 over the eight hours. His total number of hours wrked was 14.25.
Subtract 14.25-8=6.25
The number of hours over eight is 6.25 the new rate is (1.5)($10)
Multiply 6.25(1.5)($10)=$93.75
The total amount he made that day is $80+93.75=$173.75
