Answer 1

$ 588

Step-by-step explanation:

regular working hours = 40

excess is to be paid = 1.5 times the rate

rate = $ 12/hour

Alicia worked:

8 hours Mon to Fri   =  8 x 5 = 40 hours x $12 per hour =  $ 480

2 hours Sat                            = 2 hours x ($12 x 1.5)        =  $ 36

4 hours Sun                           = 4 hours x ($12 x 1.5)       =  $ 72  

                                                                           total       = $ 588
