Wilcorp has 50 employees who work 40 hours a week and earn $20/hour. fifteen employees each worked 4 hours of overtime at 50% above their hourly rate. what percentage of the total payroll that week was overtime pay? round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

To find the total payroll multiply 40hrs x $20 and then multiply by the number of employees which comes out to $4000. Then multiply 4hrs x $40 x 15 employees. This comes out to $2400. Add these two numbers together to find the total payroll. The total payroll is then divided by the overtime pay coming out to 2.7%
