Answer:

$405.60

Step-by-step explanation:

If Isaac works for 40 hours will earn $8.45×40=$388. Since he worked 4 extra hours, he will earn $8.45×2×4 since he worked 4 extra hours. $8.45×2=$16.90, which is the amount he earns for every extra hour he works. $16.90×4=$67.60. Now if we add $67.60+$388=$405.60.

Hope this helps!
