Solution

To calculate Anna's wage before tax, we need to consider her normal pay rate and her double time pay rate.

  1. First, calculate her earnings for the first 8 hours of her shift. She is paid 15.00perhour,sofor8hours,sheearns815.00 per hour, so for 8 hours, she earns 8 * 15.00 = $120.00.

  2. For the last 4 hours of her shift, she is paid double time. This means her pay rate for these hours is 2 * 15.00=15.00 = 30.00 per hour. So for 4 hours, she earns 4 * 30.00=30.00 = 120.00.

  3. Finally, add these two amounts together to find her total wage before tax. 120.00(fromthefirst8hours)+120.00 (from the first 8 hours) + 120.00 (from the last 4 hours) = $240.00.

So, Anna's wage before tax is $240.00.
