Answer:

Tyra earns $1016.5 .

Option (c) is correct .

Explanation:

As given

Tyra makes $21.40 per hour at her job for the first 40 hours and $32.10 for anything over 40 hours.

If Tyra typically works 45 hours per week .

Tyra work over 40 hours = 45 -40

= 5 hours

Amount Tyra earns for first 40 hours = 40 × 21.40

= $ 856

Amount Tyra earns for over 40 hours = 5 × 32.10

= $160.5

Total amount Tyra earns = Amount Tyra earns for first 40 hours + Amount Tyra earns for over 40 hours .

Putting the values in the above

Total amount Tyra earns = $856 + $160.5

= $1016.5

Therefore the Tyra earns $1016.5 .

Option (c) is correct.
