Use the image to answer the question.
Quadrant one of a coordinate plane shows the x axis labeled hours worked and the y axis labeled amound earned.
A grocery store employee earns $15 an hour. He earns $20 an hour for each hour over 40 that he works in the week. Use the graph to solve for how much he will make for the week if he works 55 hours.

From the graph, we can see that the x-axis represents hours worked and the y-axis represents amount earned. The grid in quadrant one shows specific values for both of these variables.
To solve for how much the grocery store employee will make for the week if he works 55 hours, we need to find the corresponding y-value on the graph.
From the x-axis, we can see that 55 hours falls within the range of 40-60 hours. From the y-axis, we can see that the corresponding range for this amount of hours worked is $900.
Therefore, the grocery store employee will earn $900 for the week if he works 55 hours.
The correct answer is:
$900
