Solution

Given,

The amount earned per hour = $8

That means that:

For the 50 hours, he will earn:


50*8=400

Recall,

He earns half for every 40 hours

Therefore the extra he will earn


(400)/(2)=200

Therefore, the total amount earned is:


200+400=600

The amount Earned for the week is $600

The first option is the correct answer
