Holiday loadings

 In this lesson we're going to learn about the holiday loadings. Have you ever thought someone is working on holidays? Have you ever thought is their pay's going to be same as the normal day pay?

  Apparently the pay is different when you're working on holidays. Reason is there is another paying options for the workers who works on the holidays. It's called the holiday loadings, holiday loading is another paying method when the worker works on the holidays.

It's not like finding a normal pay times twice. Way to find the holiday loading is multiply the amount you earned on the normal week and multiply the percentage of wage then number of weeks worked.

1. Our first example is "Sam gets $456 per week. Find his holiday loading if he works for 5 weeks with his holiday loading with 17 1/2% loading?"

  $456 x 17 1/2 /100 x 5 = $399
Therefore the answer is $399.

* Just in case if the question wants you to find the holiday loading and non-holiday loading, all you need to do is add the amount of the holiday loading and non-holiday loading.
