Answer:

There is a two-way decision because an employee that worked for more than 40 hours will get overtime pay, and an employee that worked for 40 or fewer hours will not get overtime pay.

(This might be hard to see right now. It should be more clear when you see the complete program.)

Starting the Overtime Pay Program

The program starts out by:

Asking for the base pay rate of the employee.
Asking for the number of hours the employee worked.
. . . . (rest of program) . . . .

This part of the work will be done before the two-way decision.

QUESTION 18:

Write the QBasic statements that start out the program. Call the base pay rate RATE, and call the number of hours HOURS.
