Step-by-step explanation:

they way it is written, she has one of the best paying jobs in the world : $1470 per hour ...

but I guess it is really $14.70 per hour, right ?

that is then her basic wage : $14.70 per hour for 40 hours = 14.7 × 40 = $588.

her overtime rate is then 14.7×1.25 (one time and a quarter) = 18.375 ≈ $18.38

and she gets that rate for all hours beyond the basic 40 hours, so, 52-40 = 12 hours.

12×18.38 = $220.56

or if you need it totally precise

12×18.375 = $220.50

in total, her gross wage for that week is then

588 + 220.56 = $808.56

or totally precise with unrounded hourly rates

588 + 220.5 = $808.50

which would create a mean hourly rate

808.56/52 = $15.54923077... per hour ≈ $15.55 per hour

or

808.5/52 = $15.54807692... per hour ≈ $15.55 per hour

many payroll systems do the rounding of the hourly rates and then calculate the total amount (as the first option here). some others keep the full decimal positions in the calculation and then only round the total (as the second option here).

so, it is the question what your teacher expects here. I cannot tell from the description.
