units produced	reg. rate per unit	gross earnings	employee

what were bretts gross earnings for the week?
$\square

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate regular earnings

Regular units = 495, Regular rate per unit = $1.14. So regular earnings = 495 * 1.14.
$495\times1.14 = 564.3$

Step2: Calculate overtime rate

Overtime rate is 1.5 times regular rate. So overtime rate = 1.14 * 1.5.
$1.14\times1.5 = 1.71$

Step3: Calculate overtime earnings

Overtime units = 29, Overtime rate = $1.71. So overtime earnings = 29 * 1.71.
$29\times1.71 = 49.59$

Step4: Calculate gross earnings

Gross earnings = regular earnings + overtime earnings. So 564.3 + 49.59.
$564.3 + 49.59 = 613.89$

Answer:

613.89
