Question

Group of answer choices

$348.50

$331.50

$680.00

$1,011.50

Answer 1

Zoe's regular pay for 53 hours of work is 53 * $17 = $<<53*17=901>>901.
She worked 53 - 40 = <<53-40=13>>13 hours of overtime.
Her overtime pay is 13 * 1.5 * $17 = $<<13*1.5*17=331.50>>331.50.
Her total pay is $901 + $331.50 = $<<901+331.5=1232.5>>1232.5.
The correct answer is $1,011.50.
