An employee’s wages is Rs.30/hour upto 40 hours. Overtime is twice the regular wages. If he was paid Rs. 1680, how many hours overtime did he work?
Answer: 8 hours
Explanation
Let's calculate:
Regular wages for 40 hours = 40 * Rs. 30 = Rs. 1200
Total wages received = Rs. 1680
Overtime wages = Rs. 1680 - Rs. 1200 = Rs. 480
Overtime wage rate = 2 * Rs. 30 = Rs. 60/hour
Number of overtime hours = Overtime wages / Overtime wage rate
= Rs. 480 / Rs. 60
= 8 hours
