First, let's calculate Joel's regular pay for the first 40 hours of the week:
Regular pay = $5.50/hour * 40 hours = $220
Next, let's calculate Joel's overtime pay for the additional 4.5 hours:
Overtime pay per hour = $5.50 * 1.5 = $8.25
Overtime pay = $8.25/hour * 4.5 hours = $37.13
Finally, let's add Joel's regular pay and overtime pay to find his total earnings for the week:
Total earnings = $220 + $37.13 = $257.13
Therefore, Joel earns $257.13 for a 44.5-hour week.
Joel earns $5.50 an hour and time-and-a-half for overtime. How
much does he earn for a 44.5-hour week?
