a) $300.00

b) $360.00

c) $420.00

d) $480.00

Answer 1

Edgar earned $240.00 for his regular 40 hours of work at Subway, and an additional $120.00 for 10 hours of overtime paid at double his hourly rate, making his total earnings $360.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total amount Edgar will receive from Subway for his work, we need to separate his regular hours from his overtime hours.

For the regular hours (40 hours) at $6.00/hr:

• 40 hours * $6.00/hr = $240.00

For the overtime hours (10 hours) at double his hourly rate:

• 10 hours * ($6.00/hr * 2) = $120.00

Now, we sum these amounts to get Edgar's total earnings for the week:

• $240.00 (regular hours) + $120.00 (overtime hours) = $360.00

Therefore, Subway gave Edgar a total of $360.00 for his work last week.
