Answer 1

Explanation:

$13.50 per hour. 40 hours per week.

that makes her regular weekly income

40×13.5 = $540.00

in that particular week she had 8 his overtime in addition.

the overtime hourly rate is

13.5 × 1.5 = $20.25

so, she earned an additional

8×20.25 = $162.00

therefore she earned in that week in total

540 + 162 = $702.00
