What is the total pay for the week in pounds?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. GBP 430
- Step 1: Basic pay = 10 x 35 = 350; overtime pay = 10 x 2 x 4 = 80. Step 2. Total = 350 + 80 = 430 pounds. Answer: GBP 430. Why not the others: GBP 390 pays the overtime hours at the basic rate; GBP 780 pays every hour at the overtime rate; GBP 350 leaves out the overtime pay.
