Here are the solutions to the questions:

1. State the formula for:

a) Piece work earning:

Piece work earning=Number of pieces produced×Rate per piece\text{Piece work earning} = \text{Number of pieces produced} \times \text{Rate per piece}

b) Total payment for piece work and overtime:

Total payment=Piece work earning+Overtime earning\text{Total payment} = \text{Piece work earning} + \text{Overtime earning}

Where Overtime earning=Overtime hours×Overtime rate per hour\text{Overtime earning} = \text{Overtime hours} \times \text{Overtime rate per hour}.

2. Seamstress earning:
The rate per pair of school shirts sewn is missing from the question. Without this information, the total earning for 65 pairs cannot be calculated.

3. A worker has a basic rate of 216 per hour. Find his overtime rate as:

a) Time and a half:

  1. Identify the basic rate.

    Basic rate =216 per hour= 216 \text{ per hour}

  2. Calculate the time and a half rate.

    Time and a half rate=Basic rate×1.5\text{Time and a half rate} = \text{Basic rate} \times 1.5 Time and a half rate=216×1.5\text{Time and a half rate} = 216 \times 1.5 Time and a half rate=324 per hour\text{Time and a half rate} = \boxed{\text{324 per hour}}

    b) Double time:

  3. Identify the basic rate.

    Basic rate =216 per hour= 216 \text{ per hour}

  4. Calculate the double time rate.

    Double time rate=Basic rate×2\text{Double time rate} = \text{Basic rate} \times 2 Double time rate=216×2\text{Double time rate} = 216 \times 2 Double time rate=432 per hour\text{Double time rate} = \boxed{\text{432 per hour}}
