By direct calculation, we will see that his earnings that week are $1,000.68
First, we know that for 36 hours of work Zahid gets $774.72
Then, for each hour, he gets:
$774.72/36h = $21.52 per hour.
Now we know that this week he worked 43 hours, and the normal shift is of 36 hours.
So the number of extra hours that he did is:
43h - 36h = 7 hours
For each one of these, he gets 1.5 times the normal hourly wage, then for these 7 hours he gets:
7*(1.5)*$21.52 = $225.96
And for the other 36 hours we already know that he gets $774.72, adding these two we get:
$774.72 + $225.96 = $1,000.68
That week his earnings are $1,000.68
