Answer:
$1797.12
Step-by-step explanation:
For starters
Dorothy earns $28.08 per hour on normal hours
Dorothy would be earning $56.16 per hour on overtime hours, since it’s double the rate of normal hours.
In a week,
Dorothy works 40 hours of normal time
Dorothy works 12 hours of overtime.
In a week, Dorothy would earn 40 * $28.08 of normal time pay
In a week, Dorothy would earn 12 * $56.16 of overtime pay. Calculating and summing this up, we have
40 * 28.08 = $1123.2
56.16 * 12 = $673.92
$1123.2 + $673.92 = $1797.12
Therefore, we say that Dorothy Katz earns a total of $1797.12 at the end of every week.
