Jennifer earns $8.50 per hour for regular work time and $10.50 per hour for overtime. Last week, Jennifer worked 43 hours of regular time and 6 1/2 hours of overtime. What amount, in dollars, did Jennifer earn last week?

Answer 1

$433.84

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the amount of money Jennifer earned for regular work time:

8.50 x 43 = 365.50

Then, find the amount of money Jennifer earned for overtime work:

10.50 x 6.5 = 68.25

Finally, add them:

365.50 + 68.25 = 433.75
