Answer: option B is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sammy is an hourly employee who makes $26 per hour as an elevator technician.

He is paid overtime pay of time-and-a-half for every hour that he works over 40. This means that his pay in the first 40 hours would be

40 * 26 = $1040

His hourly rate for overtime would be

26 + 26/2 = 26 + 13 = $39

He worked 50 hours last week. This means that the number of hours that he worked overtime would be

50 - 40 = 10 hours

Amount earned for over is

10 * 39 = $390

His gross pay for the week would be

1040 + 390 = $1430
