Answer:
K1310.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Basic pay per hour = K7.20
Overtime pay during the week per hour = 1 1/2 * K7. 20 = K10.8
Weekends = 2 * K7.20 = K14.4
Basic hours per week = 70 hours
In a fortnight :
Basic hours = 70 * 2 = 140 hours :
Hence, Overtime during the week = (160 – 140) = 20 hours
Weekend hours = (4 +2) = 6 hours
Total earning :
(140 * 7.20) + (20 * 10.8) + (6 * 14.4)
1008 + 216 + 86.4
= K1310.4
