The pay, P, at a certain job is calculated by the formula P=Bh, where B is the base pay an h is the number of hours worked. If a

n employee works more than40 hours in a week, the formula changes to P=40B+1.5B(h-40). If Susan had a base pay of $6.35 and worked 28 hours, what would be his pay for the week?

If you would like to know the Susan's pay for the week, you can calculate this using the following steps:

P = B * h
P ... the pay
B ... the base pay
h ... the number of hours worked

B = $6.35
h = 28 hours
P = B * h = $6.35 * 28 hours = $177.8

Susan's pay for the week would be $177.8.
