Answer:

He earned $312.5 for that week

Explanation:

Hello,

He earns $160 for 40 hours

And $5 per hour for every extra hour.

In a certain week, we work 61/2 hours as over time

1 hour = $5

61/2 hour = $x

x = [5 × (61/2)]

x = $152.5

He earned $152.5 on that week for overtime

Total amount he earned for that week = wage + overtime wage

Total amount = $160 + $152.5

Total amount = $312.5

The man earned $312.5 for that week
