Anyone help me with this maths question?
-
saturday is £9 an hour, sunday 10.5 pound an hour then just multiply by the hour worked
-
Right so for an hour on saturday he is paid 9 pounds, he works for 7 hours which mean's it's 9*7= 63 pounds
On sunday's he is paid 10.50 pounds for an hour, 6 hours, 6*10.50= 63 pounds.
63+63=126
Hope i helped.Last edited by iAdam; 14-04-2009 at 01:14 PM.

iadam you've almost helped me, I understand the saturday = 9 pounds then 9*7, but i cant figure out how on sunday he got payed 10.50 :S

Simply put, if his basic rate of pay is £6.00 an hour on a Sunday he earns that £6.00 plus 3/4 (three quarters / 75%) of his normal £6.00. So, 1/4 (one quarter / 25%) of £6.00 is £1.50. You must multiply this £1.50 by three to get your 3/4 (three quarters) which makes it £4.50 and you add that £4.50 to his normal hourly rate.

"Time and three-quarters" means that he gets paid 6 GBP + three-quarters (75%) of the 6 GBP, so you multiply 6 by 1.75 to get his hourly payment for working on Sundays. 6*1.75 = 10.50 so his hourly payment on Sundays is 10.50 GBP =D
