They list was 1) worked from 8:15 a.m to 12:45p.m 2) took a 45 minutes lunch break. 3) worked up until 6:15 p.m. Rita does not get paid for her lunch break.

Answer 1

8:15 a.m to 12:45 p.m......4 hrs 30 min
took 45 min lunch (not paid)....now its 1:30 p.m.....
1:30 p.m. to 6:45 pm = 5 hrs 15 min

5 hrs 15 min + 4 hrs 30 min = 9 hrs 45 min or 9 3/4 hrs

$ 16 for first 8 hrs......overtime pay is $ 24 per hr....leaving 1 hr and 45 min or 1 3/4 hrs overtime
16 + 24(7/4) = 16 + 42 = $ 58 <===
