Calculating pay per weekly hours

-----------------------------------

I can't figure out how to do something in Turing, I'm trying to write out a program that calculates the weekly pay for an employee. So if they work 20 hours or less they're payed $9/h, etc. 

It looked like this @ one point: 

if workHours  20 
    then workHours * 11
elsif workHours >= 40 
    then workHours * 17
end if

and obviously it's not working, but I can't seem to find out how else to figure out the weekly pay per hours...  :oops:

then workHours * 9 

The problem here is that you're creating a new value by multiplying two numbers together, but you're not storing that value in a variable. Maybe call that variable 'pay'. Then that line should look like this:

then pay := workHours * 9
