You work in a hospital and make $15.28 per hour for 40 hours a week. If you work the night shift you get a slight differential added at $2.32 per hour worked during this shift. You just completed your first week and worked 34 hours on a regular shift and 6 hours on the night shift. What is the total amount you earned this week?

The total amount earned is computed by adding the amount earned for the day shift and the amount earned for the night shift. Amount earned for the day shift = 34 x 15.28 = $519.52 Amount earned for the night shift = 6 x (15.28 + 2.32) = 6 x 17.6 = $105.60 The total amount earned for the week = $519.52 + $105.60 = $625.12
