Answer 1

Total pay= $599.25

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the unitary pay per hour:

Unitary pay= 498.75/35

Unitary pay= $14.25

Now, we can determine the total earn of 35 regular hours and 6 weekend hours:

Total pay= 498.75 + (14.25 + 2.5)*6

Total pay= 498.75 + 100.5

Total pay= $599.25
