Her total earnings is $1862

Step-by-step explanation:

Marissa earns $38 per hour for the first 40 hours in a week.

For every hour after the first 40 hours that she works in a week, she earns 1.5 times her regular rate.

If Marissa worked 46 hours in a week, she makes:

For the first 40 hours, she earns; $38 * 40 = $1520

Number of extra hours she works = 46 hours - 40 hours = 6 hours.

For the extra hours that she works, she earns; 1.5 * $38 * 6 = $342

Her total earnings = $1520 + $342 = $1862
