Module A Piecewise Functions and Absolute Value

John has a summer job that pays time and a half for overtime. That is, if John works more than 40 hours per week, his hourly wage for the extra hours is 1.5 times his normal hourly wage of $7.

Evaluate choose the correct explanation for p(50)

• John was able to make $350 as a result of working 50 hours in a single week.

• John was able to make $385 as a result of working 50 hours in a single week.

• John worked 50 hours and as a result earned 10 hours of overtime. His overall income was $360.Which was a $35 increase due to overtime pay.

• John was paid $50 for 350 hours of work.

Evaluate choose the correct explanation for p(40)

• John was able to make $280 as a result of working 40 hours in a single week. I found this value by using the first equation in the piecewise function.

• John was able to make $280 as a result of working 40 hours in a single week.I found this value by using the second equation in the piecewise function.

• John worked 40 hours and as a result earned 0 hours of overtime. His overall income was $260.

• John was paid $40 for 280 hours of work.

John has a summer job that pays time and a half for overtime. That is, if John works more than 40 hours per week, his hourly wage for the extra hours is 1.5 times his normal hourly wage of $7.

John worked 5 weeks in a row. Two of the weeks john worked 35 hours and 3 of the weeks john worked 47 hours. What statement is true?

• 2p(35) + 3p(47) = $1,477

• 2p(35) + 3p(47) = $1,442

• 35p(2) + 47p(3) = $1,550

• 2p(35) + 3p(47) = $1,551
