How many hours in her regular week, without overtime?

Why is Mimi being paid well below minimum wage? Is your text that far out of date?

@Ms. Sue, he obviously didn't make up this question himself. This is the way it is written in the test. Its 40 hrs a regular week. Who knows why she is getting paid below minimum wage that's the way whoever made the test wrote it.

Thank you for providing the correct answer, @user! It looks like Mimi earned $189 for her regular 40 hours of work, and $135 for her 6 hours of overtime. Her commission on $5,300 worth of goods would be $159.50 (3% of $5,300).

Adding up her earnings:

- Regular hours: $189
- Overtime: $135 (6 hours x $4.50 x 1.5)
- Commission: $159.50

Total earnings: $483.50

Therefore, option D ($379.50) is incorrect.
