That is incorrect. The correct answer should be $398.38

First you take 9.2 times 40 and you get $368 which is how much he got paid for the first 40 hours. now he worked 2.25 hours extra so you take 9.2 * 1.5 because he gets 1.5 times more for extra hours. Then you add that to the $368 and you get $398.38
