Answer 1

Well, if it's $11 per hour, and you need to find out how much she got paid in total, you would add all of da hours together, which would be 61, and multiply 11 times 62 = $671, so I would round dat to D., $803.00.
I hope I helped! =D

Answer 2

Time and a half mean
example, if he work for 1 hour normal, then he get 1 hour pay
but time and a half, is if he works 1 hour overitme, he gets paid for 1.5 time
double time is work 1 hour, get paid 2 hours

basically, multiply all normal hours by 1, multpliy al overtime hours by 1.5 and multiply al holiday hours by 2

40 hours normal
9 hours overtime
12 hours holidy
40*1=40
9*1.5=13.5
12*3=24
add up
40+13.5+24=77.5 hours counted

now 11 per our
11 times 77.5=852.50
