Answer:


G=\$371.80

Explanation:

Let

h -----> the hourly wage

t ------> time worked in hours

o -----> overtime in hours

G ----->Gross pay

we have


G=h(t)+1.5(h)(o)

Evaluate G for


h=\$7.15\ per\ hour\\t=40\ h\\o=8\ h

substitute the value of h, t and o in the equation and solve for G


G=7.15(40)+1.5(7.15)(8)


G=\$371.80
