A man's basic pay for a 40 hour week is Rs. 2000. Overtime is paid for at 25% above the basic rate. In a certain week, he worked overtime and his total wage was Rs. 2500. He, therefore, worked for a total of:
- 45 hours
- 47 hours
- 48 hours
- 50 hours
Explanation
Basic hourly rate = 2000 ÷ 40 = Rs. 50/hr
Overtime rate = 50 + 25% of 50 = 50 + 12.5 = Rs. 62.5/hr
Let overtime hours = x
Total wage = Rs. 2000 + 62.5x = 2500
62.5x = 500 → x = 8 hours
Total hours = 40 + 8 = 48 hours
