Group of answer choices

$222.00

$288.60

Answer 1

To calculate Chloe's total pay, we need to determine her regular pay and overtime pay separately.

Regular pay = $5.55 per hour * 48 hours = $266.40
Overtime pay = ($5.55 per hour * 1.5) * (48 hours - 40 hours) = ($5.55 * 1.5) * 8 hours = $66.60

Total pay = Regular pay + Overtime pay = $266.40 + $66.60 = $333.00

Therefore, Chloe's total pay is $333.00, which is not one of the given options.
