Final answer:
The correct answer is option $336.To calculate the total pay for the week, multiply the regular hourly rate by the total work hours for regular pay, and multiply the overtime hourly rate by the overtime hours for overtime pay.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the total pay for the week, we need to calculate the regular pay and the overtime pay separately.
- Regular Pay: Multiply the regular hourly rate ($6.50) by the total work hours (48) to get the regular pay: $6.50 x 48 = $312.
- Overtime Pay: Multiply the overtime hourly rate (time and a half of the regular hourly rate) by the overtime hours. Here, the overtime rate is $6.50 x 1.5 = $9.75. So, multiply $9.75 by the overtime hours (48 - 40 = 8) to get the overtime pay: $9.75 x 8 = $78.
- Total Pay: Add the regular pay and the overtime pay together: $312 + $78 = $390.
Therefore, the total pay for the week, including overtime, is $390, which is not listed in the provided answer choices. The options provided are incorrect.
