Answer:
$903.10
Explanation:
Carson's average rate basis for the week is given by the weighted average of each rate by the number of hours worked:
[tex]R = \frac{16.00*36+17.50*14}{36+14}\\R=\$16.42[/tex]
When considering overtime pay, every hour worked over 40 weekly hours must be paid at a rate of 1.5 the normal rate. Since he worked 50 total hours, he should get 10 hours of overtime. His gross pay for that week is:
[tex]P=40*16.42+(1.5*10*16.42)\\P=\$903.10[/tex]
Carson's gross pay for that week is $903.10.
