I can't come up with $119.56, which is the answer.
What was his total pay including overtime?
assuming a 40-hour work week, he worked 6.25 hours of overtime
assuming time-and-a-half for overtime, his wage is 12.75 * 1.5 = 19.125
So, his overtime pay is 6.25 * 19.125 = 119.53
Not sure how they rounded that up to 119.56 ...

I think the question is wrong because I got the same question in my activity and I'm trying to find what the answer is.
This is the original question,
"Bill Granger is a parts clerk. He worked a total of 46.25 hours from Monday to Friday this week. If his
regular pay is $₱212.75 per hour, how much overtime pay did Bill earn?"
Now, why is the answer $119.56? And is it correct?
