she worked a total of 48hours last week

for the first 40 hours she earns $7.28 / hr

so that on the whole for 40 hrs she earns 40 x $7.28 =$291.2

For the extra 8 hours she will earn 1 1/2 of what she earns normally on the hour

This is equivalent to 1.5 x 7.28/hr = $10.92/ hr

so for 8 hrs = 8 x $10.92 =$87.36

Total earning = $291.2 + $87.36 =$378.56
