Kari works 40 hours per week at Rocky Mountain Radiology Associates, which pays time- and-a-half for overtime and double-time for holidays. During the past week, Kari took 6 hours of unpaid personal leave, and worked an 8-hour holiday. How many hours will Kari be paid for?
Kari works a standard 40-hour week. During the past week, she took 6 hours of unpaid personal leave, reducing her regular working hours to 34 hours. She also worked an 8-hour holiday, which is paid at double-time. Therefore, the 8 hours of holiday work count as 16 hours of pay (8 hours times 2). Adding these 16 paid hours to the 34 regular hours, Kari will be paid for a total of 50 hours.
is it not 50? 40-6=34+(8x2)=50?
40-6=34 34+8 = 42
