The nurse's contract states that the nurse will receive $27.22 per hour worked. The nurse worked 45.5 hours in one week, at the request of the nurse manager
According to the Fair Labor Standard Act, how much money will the nurse be paid for this week's work? Fill in the blank. Round to the nearest penny.
________
Answer: $1313.37
Rationale: The nurse earns 1.5 times more per hour during overtime. For 40 hours of work, the nurse earns 40 hours x $27.22 per hour = $1088.80. For 5.5 hours of overtime, the nurse earns $224.565. 5.5 x $27.22 = 149.71 x 1.5 = 224.565.
$1088.80 + $224.565 = 1313.365 = $1313.37.
