[tex]\bold{Total\ Earning = Earning\ per\ Hour\times Number\ of\ hours\ worked}[/tex]
Given to us,
earnings per hour of carpenter = $18/hour
regular workweek = 40 hours,
Number of hours he worked this week = 42.5 hours,
Earning for an extra hour of working
= 1.5 x regular earnings per hour of carpenter= 1.5 x 18 = $27/hour
Extra working hour
= number of hours he worked this week - regular workweek
= 42.5 - 40
= 2.5 hours
Earning of the carpenter for the workweek,
Earning through workweek
= regular workweek x earnings per hour of carpenter
= 40 hours x $18/hour
= $720
Earning of the carpenter for the extra work hour,
Earning through extra work hour
= extra work hour x Earning for an extra hour of working
= 2.5 hours x $27/hour
= $67.5
Total Wage of the carpenter
Total Wage of the carpenter
= Earning of the carpenter for the workweek+Earning of the carpenter for the extra work hour
= $720 + $67.5
= $787.5
Hence, the total Wage of the carpenter is $787.5.
