QUESTION 3 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. You will be paid time and a half for any time over 8 hours. Your regular hourly wage is $12.50. What will you be paid in overtime?
a) $8.48
b) $12.25
c) $18.75
d) $25.00

Answer

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.
