Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

Taho Earns His Regular Pay Of $11 Per Hour For Up To 40 Hours Of Work Per Week. For each hour over 40 hours of work per week. Taho earns 1½ times his regular pay. How much does Taho earn in a week in which he works 50 hours?

a. $550

b. $605

c. $625

d. $750

e. $825

For the first $40 that Taho works, he earns $11 x 40 = $440

For the extra $10 (since he worked 50 hrs that week)

1½ of $11 per hr = 1.5 x $11 = $16.5

for the 10 days extra = $16.5 x 10 = $165

total pay = $440 + $165 = $605
