Answer:

$307.04. Option C is correct.

Explanations:

From the question given, we are told that Yves worked 47 hours for $8 an hour.

This shows that her normal working hour is 40 hours

• Amount earned for her normal working hours = 8(40) = $320

Overtime = 47 - 40 = 7hours

• Amount earned for overtime, if he earns, time-and-a-half, for overtime = 7(8)(1.5) = $84

Total amount earned = $320 + $84

Total amount earned for the week = $404

If he had 24% of his gross earnings withheld for deductions, the net amount of his paycheck for the week will be given as:

Net Amount = (0.76) * Total amount earned

Net Amount = 0.76 * 404

Net Amount = $307.04

Hence the net amount of his paycheck for the week is $307.04
