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. (1 point) Responses

At 55 hours worked:
40 hrs * $15/hr = $600 base pay
15 hrs * $20/hr (overtime pay) = $300
$600 + $300 = $900 (total pay with overtime)
$900 + $200 (additional $20/hr for 5 hours over 40) = $1,100 total pay for the week.
