Question

Just want to make sure I am doing my simple math correctly. I recently lost my office manager. 

I have an account that I charge 23.50 hourly, the officers are there 38 hours a week. 

$23. 50 hour times 36 hours= $846.00 for the 1st officer

$23.50 hour times 36 hours= $846.00 for the 2nd officer

Total of first week for 2 officers= $1692.00

So if I bill out for (2) officers @ $23.50 hour for 2 weeks is $3,384

 

Correct?
