Find out how much Alex earned in 35 hours first.
1 hour = $12.50
35 hours = $12.50 x 35 = $437.50
Since ‘time and a half’ pays 1.5 times more than their usual pay, find out how much Alex earned per hour at ‘time and a half’
1 hour = 12.50 x 1.5 = $18.75
5 hours = 18.75 x 5 = $93.75
$437.50 + $93.75 = $531.25
Alex would have earned $531.25 for the week.
