tim has been asked to work over christmas to meet an order of new water bottles for a client. tim's hourly wage is $8.00 and he earns double time for holidays. if tim works a normal 8 hour day on christmas, and christmas falls on a tuesday, what is tim's base weekly income for the week? (assume tim normally works monday through friday.) a. $320 b. $345 c. $375 d. $384
The answer is : option d. $384
Tim's hourly wage is $8.00 and he earns double time for holidays. Means he earns $16 per hour on holidays.
If Tim works a normal 8 hour day on Christmas, and Christmas falls on a Tuesday, means he got \(16\times8=$128\) dollars on Tuesday.
Assuming Tim normally works Monday through Friday.
So, for the rest 4 days of the week, he earned \(8\times8\times4=256\) dollars
Therefore, for the week Tim earned a total of =\(128+256=$384\) dollars
Hence, option D is the answer.
