Answer: $724.35

Explanation: Stacy worked 46 hours in total in her work week. Normally any amount of hours above 40 hours is considered to overtime hours. This means she worked a total of 6 hours (46 - 40 = 6) as overtime. The special half rate apply on these overtime hours.

Calculating the special half rate on the overtime is as follows:

Total salary: $680

Hours workered: 46

Therefore pay per hour = 680 : 46 = $14.78

Apply half rate: 14.78 * 0.5 = $7.39 per hour

Total overtime: 7.39 * 6 hours = $44.35

Total gross salary: 680 + 44.35 = $724.35
