Question

 Mary Stevens earns $6 an hour at her job and is entitled to time-and-a-half for overtime and double time on holidays. Last week she worked 40 hours of regular time, 61/2 hours of overtime, and 8 hours of holiday time. How much did she earn? 

Answer 1

6 = rate for regular overtime
9 = rate for overtime
12 = rate for holidays

40 x 6 = 240
6.5 x 9 = 58.5
8 x 12 = 96
240 + 58.5 + 96 = 394.5

The final answer is $394.5

plz mark me as the brainliest :P

Answer 2

$394

$6 is earned per hour over a 40 hour period. [6*$40=$240]

$9 is earned over a 6.5 hour perid. [$9 coming from $6*1.5, which is then multiplied by 6.5, the hours worked. $9*6.5=$58.5]

$12 is earned over an 8 hour perod [ $12 coming from $6*2, which is then multiplied by 8, the hours worked over holidays. $12*8=$96]

Once each of these are worked out they are simply added together $240 + $58.5 + $96 = $394.50
