Question

Group of answer choices

$28.80

$220.80

$192.00

$163.20

Answer 1

Joey worked 44 hours, so he worked 40 regular hours and 4 overtime hours (44 - 40 = 4).
His regular pay is $4.80 per hour, so he earned 40 * $4.80 = $<<40*4.80=192>>192 for regular hours.
His overtime pay is time and a half, so he earned 4 * $4.80 * 1.5 = $<<4*4.80*1.5=28.80>>28.80 for overtime hours.
His total pay is $192 + $28.80 = $220.80.
Therefore, his total pay was $220.80. Answer: \boxed{220.80}.
