name	s	m	t	w	th	f	s	reg. hrs.	o.t. hrs.	reg. rate	o.t. rate

what is the number of regular hours worked by mr. torr? 40 hours
how many overtime hours did mr. torr work? 11 hours
what was the overtime rate for mr. torr? $\square$ (round to the nearest cent.)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall overtime rate formula

Overtime rate is time and a half, so \( \text{O.T. Rate} = \text{Reg. Rate} \times 1.5 \)

Step2: Substitute regular rate

Given \( \text{Reg. Rate} = \$8.94 \), so \( \text{O.T. Rate} = 8.94 \times 1.5 \)

Step3: Calculate the product

\( 8.94 \times 1.5 = 13.41 \)

Answer:

\( 13.41 \)
