Answer:

Part a) The straight-time pay is [tex]\$1,332[/tex]

Part b) The overtime  pay is [tex]\$432[/tex]

Part c) The total pay is [tex]\\$1,764[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) What is his straight-time  pay?

To find out his straight-time  pay multiply the hourly rate of $36 by 37 hours worked

so

[tex](36)(37)=\$1,332[/tex]

Part b) What is his overtime  pay?

we know that

The hourly rate for overtime is equal to

[tex](1.5)(36)=\$54[/tex]

so

Multiply the hourly rate for overtime by the number of hours overtime

[tex](54)(8)=\$432[/tex]

Part c) What is his total pay?

we know that

The total pay is equal to sum the straight-time  pay plus the overtime  pay

[tex]\$1,332+\$432=\$1,764[/tex]
