The pay, P, at a certain job is calculated by the formula P=Bh, where B is the base pay an h is the number of hours worked. If an employee works more than 40 hours in a week, the formula changes to P=40B+1.5B (h-40). If Susan had a base pay of $12.50 and worked 46 hours, what would be her pay for the week?
