\(30\text{ EMP } \times 30 \text{hr } \times \$\ 6 = \$\ 5400\)
\(20 \times 40 \times 6 = \$\ 4800\)
\((15 \times 40 \times 6) + (15 \times 10 \times 9) = 3600 + 1350 = \$\ 4950\)

Solution
Question stem analysis
Supermarket pays its employees for one hour = $6. So, for 40 hours per week = 6 * 40 = $240.
The normal rate would be 1.5 times for each hour over 40 hrs in a week = 6 * 1.5 =$9 per hr
Total employees = 65
1. 30 workers worked for 30 hrs in a week = 30hrs * $6 = $180 per week per employee
And for 30 employees =$180 * 30 = $5400
2. 20 workers worked for 40 hrs in a week = 40hrs * $6 = $240 per week per employee
And for 20 employees =$240 * 20 = $4800
3. (I) 15 workers worked for the first 40 hrs in a week = 40hrs * $6 = $240 per week per employee
And for 15 employees =$240 * 15 = $3600
(II) 15 workers worked for the second 10 hrs in a week = 10hrs * $9 = $90 per week per employee
And for 15 employees =$90 * 15 = $1350
Total amount for 15 workers worked for 50 hrs = $3600 + $1350 = $4950
Total payroll for the week =$5400+$4800+$4950 = $15150
Option E
A. $5,400
