Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jane's regular pay for the first 40 hours is 40 x $20 = $800. For the remaining 3 hours, her double pay rate is $20 x 2 = $40 per hour. So, her overtime pay is $40 x 3 = $120. Her total gross pay is $800 + $120 = $920. Therefore, the best choice is D.

Jane Works 43 Hours at a Rate of Pay of $20
