Garrett works at the pizza shop. He gets paid $14.00 per hour if he works 8 hours or less in a day. If Garrett works more than 8 hours in a day, he receives an extra $2.00 for every hour he works over 8 hours. For example, if Garrett works 10 hours, he receives $14.00 per hour for the first 8 hours and $16.00 per hour for the last 2 hours. The piecewise function represents the amount of money Garrett will make each day if he works x hours for the day. The table provides the hours Garrett worked each day for the week. Use the table and piecewise function to determine how much he will make for the week.

To determine how much Garrett will make for the week, we need to calculate his earnings for each day based on the hours he worked and apply the piecewise function provided.

Let's calculate his earnings for each day:

  1. Monday (12 hours):

    • For the first 8 hours: \( 8 \text{ hours} \times $14.00/\text{hour} = $112.00 \)
    • For the additional 4 hours (12 - 8): \( 4 \text{ hours} \times $16.00/\text{hour} = $64.00 \)
    • Total for Monday: \( $112.00 + $64.00 = $176.00 \)
  2. Tuesday (8 hours):

    • \( 8 \text{ hours} \times $14.00/\text{hour} = $112.00 \)
  3. Wednesday (8 hours):

    • \( 8 \text{ hours} \times $14.00/\text{hour} = $112.00 \)
  4. Thursday (8 hours):

    • \( 8 \text{ hours} \times $14.00/\text{hour} = $112.00 \)
  5. Friday (10 hours):

    • For the first 8 hours: \( 8 \text{ hours} \times $14.00/\text{hour} = $112.00 \)
    • For the additional 2 hours (10 - 8): \( 2 \text{ hours} \times $16.00/\text{hour} = $32.00 \)
    • Total for Friday: \( $112.00 + $32.00 = $144.00 \)

Now, let's sum up his total earnings for the week:

\[ \text{Total earnings} = $176.00 + $112.00 + $112.00 + $112.00 + $144.00 \]

Calculating this gives: \[ = 176.00 + 112.00 + 112.00 + 112.00 + 144.00 = 656.00 \]

Thus, the total amount Garrett will make for the week is $656.00.

The correct response is: He will make $656.
