    Rita's pay for Monday is $158.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Rita's hourly pay for an 8-hour shift she works everyday is, $16.

    If she works overtime she gets paid 1.5 times her hourly pay for every extra hour.

    That is, if she works (8 + x) hours a day then the pay for the x hour is, 1.5x.

    Rita's working hours on Monday is:

    Started from 8:15 AM to 12:45 PM ⇒ 4 hours 30 minutes. 45 minutes lunch break ⇒ 12:45 PM + 45 minutes = 1:30 PM Worked from 1:30 PM to 6:15 PM ⇒ 4 hours 45 minutes

    It is provided that Rita does not get paid for lunch hour.

    Rita's pay for Monday is computed as follows:

    = (8:15 AM - 12:45 PM) + (1:30 PM - 6:15 PM)

    = (4 hours 30 minutes) + (4 hours 30 minutes)

    = (4 + 4) hours + (30 + 45) minutes

    = (8 * 16) + (75 minutes * 16 * 1.5)

    = 128 + (1.25 hours * 24)

    = 128 + 30

    = 158

    Thus, Rita's pay for Monday is $158.
