Answer:

He earns almost 400 since he works overtime. He first gets paid $368 (9.20*40) and then gets paid 13.80 per hour(9.2*1.5) Since he works overtime for 2.25 hrs, we multiply $13.80 by 2.25. Add the result and $368 to get you final answer

No, he almost earns $400
9.20 / 1.5 = 6.13
9.20 - 6.13 = 3.07
9.20 + 3.07 = 12.27
12.27 x 2.25 = 27.61
9.20 x 40 = 368
368 + 27.61 = 395.61
Mr. Evans earned $395.61 for 42.25 hrs.
