time and a half=13.125

7.5 hours * 13.25= 98.4375

Answer:

The answer is explained below.

Explanation:

The key numbers to solve the problem are the following:

First, we earns $350 per week. To get this result, it is necessary to perform the next: 8.74*40=350.

After that, he earns 13.125 per overtime, because we add 8.75+4.375=13.125. At the end of the week, he's worked 7.5 overtime hours, so it is necessary to multiply 13.125*7.5=$98.43.

So, when he receives his paycheck he will be given 448.43 dollars.
