Answer 2

$1,925

Explanation:

Total hours worked = 50 hours

Regular rate =$35

Regular time = 40 hours

Overtime rate = 1.5 * $35

= $52.5

Overtime hours = Time worked - regular time

= 50 hours - 40 hours

= 10 hours

Total amount earned = (Regular rate)*(Regular time) + (Overtime rate)*(Overtime hours)

= 35*40 + 52.5*10

= 1400 + 525

= 1,925

Total amount earned = $1,925
