Problem 12
Step1: Calculate Mon. hours
Morning: $11:00 - 7:00 = 4$ hrs; Afternoon: $4:04 - 12:00 = 4.07$ hrs; Total: $4 + 4.07 = 8.07 \approx 8$ hrs
Step2: Calculate Tue. hours
Morning: $11:10 - 7:05 = 4.08$ hrs; Afternoon: $3:59 - 11:55 = 4.07$ hrs; Total: $4.08 + 4.07 = 8.15 \approx 8$ hrs
Step3: Calculate Wed. hours
Morning: $10:59 - 7:01 = 3.97$ hrs; Afternoon: $3:58 - 12:05 = 3.88$ hrs; Total: $3.97 + 3.88 = 7.85 \approx 8$ hrs
Step4: Calculate Thur. hours
Morning: $10:55 - 6:59 = 3.93$ hrs; Afternoon: $4:03 - 12:01 = 4.03$ hrs; Total: $3.93 + 4.03 = 7.96 \approx 8$ hrs
Step5: Calculate Fri. hours
Morning: $11:01 - 6:55 = 4.1$ hrs; Afternoon: $3:49 - 12:02 = 3.78$ hrs; Total: $4.1 + 3.78 = 7.88 \approx 8$ hrs
Step6: Calculate total weekly hours
$8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 40$ hrs
Step7: Calculate total pay
$\text{Total Pay} = 40 \times 7.50$
Step1: Calculate Sat. hours
Morning: $11:30 - 7:00 = 4.5$ hrs; Afternoon: $4:00 - 12:00 = 4$ hrs; Total: $4.5 + 4 = 8.5$ hrs
Step2: Calculate Sun. hours
Morning: $11:45 - 8:15 = 3.5$ hrs; Afternoon: $4:30 - 12:15 = 4.25$ hrs; Total: $3.5 + 4.25 = 7.75$ hrs
Step3: Calculate Sat. overtime pay
Time-and-a-half rate: $7.50 \times 1.5 = 11.25$; Pay: $8.5 \times 11.25$
Step4: Calculate Sun. overtime pay
Double rate: $7.50 \times 2 = 15$; Pay: $7.75 \times 15$
Step5: Total weekend overtime pay
$95.625 + 116.25$
Step6: Total weekly pay
Weekday pay ($300$) + weekend overtime pay
Step1: Find daily pay
$\text{Daily Pay} = \frac{294.00}{5} = 58.80$
Step2: Find daily hours worked
$\text{Daily Hours} = \frac{58.80}{8.40} = 7$ hrs
Step3: Calculate start time
$10:00 \text{ PM} - 7 \text{ hrs} = 3:00 \text{ PM}$
