$8$ hours O$.$T$.$$$7\mathrm{.}70=$$$61\mathrm{.}60$ extra pay

$$739\mathrm{.}20+$$$61\mathrm{.}60=$$$800\mathrm{.}80$ weekly gross pay

Example $2-21$

The agreement between John Kalas and his employer provides for a pay rate of $$14$ per hour with a maximum of $48$ hours per week.

$48$ hours $$$$14=$$$672\mathrm{.}00$

$8$ hours $0\mathrm{.}5$$$14={56\mathrm{.}00}_{?}$

John's weekly salary $=$$$728\mathrm{.}00$

No matter how many hours John works each week $($above and below $40),$ his gross pay would be $$728\mathrm{.}00.$ However, if John works beyond the

agreed$-$upon maximum of $48$ hours, he must be paid at one and one$-$half times his regular rate of pay $(1\mathrm{.}5$$$14=$$$21)$ for the hours over $48.$

Carrie Ortiz works in fluctuating work schedules. Besides her fixed salary of $$1,057$ per week, her employment agreement provides for overtime pay at an

extra half$-$rate for hours worked over $40.$ This week she worked $46$ hours. Compute the following amounts.

Round all divisions to two decimal places and use the rounded amounts in subsequent computations. Round your final answers to the
