Answer:

p(h)= 40(7)+h(1.5×7)

Explanation:

p(h)= 40(7) + h(1.5×7)

h is the extra hours she works

as she is supposed to work 40 hrs a week for $7 an hour that is the 1st bit of the function. if she works more hours than that she is paid 1.5 times her normal pay per hour.

for example, she works 46 hours one week. to find her pay, it is 40(7) +6(1.5×7)

280+63

she is paid $343 that week

hope that helps :)
