of 10: You worked from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. with a 45-minute unpaid lunch and an unpaid 15-minute break....
a) $8.48
b) $12.25
c) $18.75
d) $25.00
First, calculate the total hours worked: 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. is 10 hours. Subtract the unpaid 45-minute lunch and 15-minute break, which totals 1 hour. So, you worked 9 hours.
Overtime is paid for any time over 8 hours. Therefore, 1 hour is overtime.
The overtime rate is time and a half of the regular hourly wage: $12.50 * 1.5 = $18.75.
The correct answer is c) $18.75.
