Answer 1

Answer:

Total earnings during the week = $330.6

Explanations:

The total number of hours worked during the week = 52 hr

Earnings per hour for the first 40 hours = $5.70

Earnings for the first 40 hours = $5.70 x 40

Earnings for the first 40 hours = $228

The number of hours worked as overtime = 52 - 40 = 12 hours

Earnings per hour for overtime = $8.55

Earnings for overtime = $8.55 x 12

Earnings for overtime = $102.6

Total earnings during the week= Earnings for the first 40 hours + Earnings for overtime

Total earnings during the week = $228 + $102.6

Total earnings durig the week = $330.6
