    D. $18

    Explanation:

    According to the Fair Labour Standardz Act (FLSA) concerning overtime, employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 per workweek (any fixed and regularly recurring period of 168 hours - seven consecutive 24-hour periods) at a rate not less than one and one-half times the regular rate of pay.

    This means that an employee paid at $12 dollars hourly, during overtime would now receive

    , $.

    It's important to note that there is no limit on the number of hours employees 16 years or older may work in any workweek.
