Divide 908 by 40 to find her hourly rate: 22.70
1.5 times 22.70: 34.05 (this is what she gets paid for each hour over 40)

50 hours = 40 hours + 10 hours (overtime)
908 + 10(34.05)
= 1248.50
The answer is $1248.50

908÷40=22.70

22.70÷2=11.35

11.35+22.70=34.05

34.05*10=340.50

908+340.50=1,248.50

1,248.50 for 50 hours
