$393.75

Explanation:

Georgia kassem installs fencing.

She is paid for an 8 hour a day = $7.50

For overtime of her work she is paid = time and a half

= 7.50 × 1.5 = $11.25

She worked each day in a week (in hours)

7 hours = 7 × 7.50 = $52.50

12 hours = 8 × 7.50 = $60 + (4 × 11.25) = $105

9 hours = 8 × 7.50 = $60 + ( 1 × 11.25) = $71.25

10 hours = 8 × 7.50 = $60 + ( 2 × 11.25) = $82.50

10 hours = 8 × 7.50 = $60 + ( 2 × 11.25) = $82.50

Total amount she earned for the week

52.50 + 105 + 71.25 + 82.50 + 82.50 = $393.75
