According to the Fair Labor Standards Act, employees must be paid at least the minimum wage for all hours worked. As of 2022, the federal minimum wage in the United States is $7.25 per hour. Therefore, the least amount Miriam can be paid for the week is:
$7.25/hour * 50 hours = $<<7.25*50=362.5>>362.5
Since her weekly salary is $400, which is higher than the calculated minimum pay, she can still receive her regular weekly salary of $400.
