2. using eddie irwin’s time card (see figure 1.2), find his total pay for the week if his overtime rate is 2 times his regular hourly rate of $17.25 per hour for a regular 37 - hour week.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate daily hours (Mon)

Morning: $12:00 - 8:15 = 3.75$ hours; Afternoon: $4:30 - 12:30 = 4$ hours; Total: $3.75 + 4 = 7.75$ hours

Step2: Calculate daily hours (Tue)

Morning: $12:30 - 8:30 = 4$ hours; Afternoon: $5:10 - 1:10 = 4$ hours; Total: $4 + 4 = 8$ hours

Step3: Calculate daily hours (Wed)

Morning: $12:50 - 8:35 = 4.25$ hours; Afternoon: $5:00 - 1:30 = 3.5$ hours; Total: $4.25 + 3.5 = 7.75$ hours

Step4: Calculate daily hours (Thur)

Morning: $12:10 - 8:15 = 3.9167$ hours; Afternoon: $4:20 - 12:45 = 3.5833$ hours; Total: $3.9167 + 3.5833 = 7.5$ hours

Step5: Calculate daily hours (Fri)

Morning: $1:15 - 8:25$ (convert to 24h: 13:15-8:25) = $4.8333$ hours; Afternoon: $5:30 - 1:50$ (17:30-13:50) = $3.6667$ hours; Total: $4.8333 + 3.6667 = 8.5$ hours

Step6: Sum weekly hours (part b)

Total weekly hours: $7.75 + 8 + 7.75 + 7.5 + 8.5 = 39.5$ hours

Step7: Calculate pay for Q9

Regular pay: $37 \times 17.25 = 638.25$; Overtime hours: $39.5 - 37 = 2.5$; Overtime rate: $17.25 \times 1.5 = 25.875$; Overtime pay: $2.5 \times 25.875 = 64.6875$; Total pay: $638.25 + 64.6875 = 702.9375$

Step8: Calculate pay for Q10

Overtime rate: $17.25 \times 2 = 34.5$; Overtime pay: $2.5 \times 34.5 = 86.25$; Total pay: $638.25 + 86.25 = 724.5$
