    We assume Jill's full-time work week is 40 hours, so that any hours in excess of that are overtime.

    There are a couple of ways to think about overtime pay.

    1) Figure the number of overtime hours, and multiply that number by 1.5 times the base pay. (OT pay) = (OT hours) * (1.5 * (base pay))

    2) Figure the number of overtime hours, and multiply that number by 1.5, then by the base pay. (OT pay) = ((OT hours) * 1.5) * (base pay)

    You can see the product is the same, only the sequence of computation is changed.

    Then Jill's gross earnings can be computed as ...

    (40 h + (6 h) * 1.5) * (base pay)

    (49 h) * ($18.59/h) = $910.91

    Jill's gross earnings for 46 hours' work will be $910.91.
