To calculate Mary's earnings, we need to consider regular time, overtime, and holiday time separately.
Regular Time:
Mary worked 40 hours at a rate of $6 per hour, so her earnings from regular time are:
Regular Time Earnings = 40 hours * $6 per hour = $<<40*6=240>>240
Overtime:
Mary worked 6 1/2 hours of overtime, which means she worked 1/2 hour more than 40 hours. Since she is entitled to time-and-a-half for overtime, we need to calculate her overtime pay at a rate of 1.5 times her regular wage per hour.
Overtime Earnings = 6.5 hours * 1.5 * $6 per hour = $<<6.5*1.5*6=58.50>>58.50
Holiday Time:
Mary worked 8 hours on a holiday, and she is entitled to double time for holiday pay, which means double her regular wage per hour.
Holiday Time Earnings = 8 hours * 2 * $6 per hour = $<<8*2*6=96>>96
Now, let's calculate her total earnings:
Total Earnings = Regular Time Earnings + Overtime Earnings + Holiday Time Earnings
Total Earnings = $240 + $58.50 + $96
Total Earnings = $<<240+58.50+96=394.50>>394.50
Therefore, Mary earned $394.50 last week.
