Answer:

The correct answer is $688

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given scenario, the calculation of total pay last week is as follows:

Total hours worked is 42 hours out of which normal hours is 40 and 2 hours is overtime

So,

= 40 hours × $16 + 2 hours × ($16 + $16 ÷ 2)

= $640 + 2 hours × $24

= $640 + 48

= $688

hence, the total pay last week is $688
