To calculate Pepe Rodriguez's earnings, we'll first determine his regular pay for the first 40 hours and then calculate his overtime pay for the additional 2.5 hours worked.
1. **Regular Pay (for first 40 hours)**:
- Regular Rate = $6.20
- Hours Worked = 40
- Regular Pay = Regular Rate × Hours Worked = $6.20 × 40 = $248.00
2. **Overtime Pay (for hours over 40)**:
- Overtime Rate = 1.5 × Regular Rate = 1.5 × $6.20 = $9.30
- Overtime Hours = 42.5 - 40 = 2.5
- Overtime Pay = Overtime Rate × Overtime Hours = $9.30 × 2.5 = $23.25
3. **Total Earnings**:
- Total Earnings = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay = $248.00 + $23.25 = $271.25
Thus, Pepe's total earnings for the week are **$271.25**.
So, the correct response is:
**$271.25**.
1. **Regular Pay (for first 40 hours)**:
- Regular Rate = $6.20
- Hours Worked = 40
- Regular Pay = Regular Rate × Hours Worked = $6.20 × 40 = $248.00
2. **Overtime Pay (for hours over 40)**:
- Overtime Rate = 1.5 × Regular Rate = 1.5 × $6.20 = $9.30
- Overtime Hours = 42.5 - 40 = 2.5
- Overtime Pay = Overtime Rate × Overtime Hours = $9.30 × 2.5 = $23.25
3. **Total Earnings**:
- Total Earnings = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay = $248.00 + $23.25 = $271.25
Thus, Pepe's total earnings for the week are **$271.25**.
So, the correct response is:
**$271.25**.
