A student worked 46 hr during a week one summer the student earned $4.90 per hour for the first 40 hr and $7.35 per hour for overtime how much did the student earn during the week?

First you multiply how much they make per hour by the number of hours they worked that weren’t overtime. So you would multiply 4.9 and 40.

4.9 (40) = $196

Then you multiply 7.35 and the number of hours worked overtime. To find the number of hours worked overtime you would subtract 40 from 46.

46-40=6

Now you multiply again.

7.35 (6) = $44.10

Then you add the two amounts made together.

196+44.10=$240.10

The student makes $240.10.
