When Alexa works overtime any hours over 40 hours a week she is paid 1.5 times her regular hourly rate in the week she worked 52 hours if her regular hourly rate is 6.80 what did she earn that week

What do you think, Jenny?

40 divide by 1.5 I think

40 / 1.5 = 26.666

I don't know what you'd do with that.

What is her hourly rate?
How many hours did she work at that rate?
How much money does she make at that rate for her regular hours?

How many overtime hours did she work?
She was paid 1.5 times her regular hourly rate for overtime.
How much money did she make for overtime?

How much did she make all together?

To calculate Alexa's earnings for the week, we need to determine her regular pay for the first 40 hours and then calculate her overtime pay for the additional 12 hours.

Regular pay for 40 hours: Alexa's regular hourly rate is $6.80, so her regular pay for 40 hours can be calculated by multiplying her hourly rate by the number of hours:

Regular pay = 40 hours * $6.80/hour = $<<40*6.80=272.00>>272.00

Overtime pay for 12 hours: Alexa is paid 1.5 times her regular hourly rate for any hours worked over 40. So, her overtime hourly rate is 1.5 * $6.80 = $10.20/hour. To find her overtime pay, we multiply her overtime rate by the number of overtime hours worked:

Overtime pay = 12 hours * $10.20/hour = $<<12*10.20=122.40>>122.40

Total earnings: To find her total earnings, we add her regular pay and overtime pay:

Total earnings = Regular pay + Overtime pay = $272.00 + $122.40 = $<<272+122.40=394.40>>394.40

Therefore, Alexa earned $394.40 that week.
