A) $474.00
B) $502.70
C) $585.70
D) $559.00

Answer 1

Steven's total wages are calculated by multiplying his hourly wage by the total hours worked, including both regular and Sunday hours. After performing the calculations, his total wages for the week would be $615.70.

Step-by-step explanation:

Steven earns $13.10 per hour for his regular work hours and works for 40 hours. To calculate Steven's earnings for his regular hours, we multiply his hourly wage by the number of regular hours he worked:

$13.10/hour × 40 hours = $524.00

Assuming Steven earns the same hourly wage for the hours he worked on Sunday, we calculate the Sunday earnings in the same way:

$13.10/hour × 7 hours = $91.70

Now, we will add Steven's regular earnings to his Sunday earnings to determine his total wages for the week:

$524.00 + $91.70 = $615.70

Therefore, the correct answer is not listed in the provided options. Steven's total wages for the week is $615.70.
