If a person makes $12.00 per hour, and twice that much if they work more than 35 hours in a week, how much would that person make if they worked 42 hours in a week?

Step-by-step explanation:

If a person makes $12.00 per hour, and twice that much if they work more than 35 hours in a week, it means for every additional hour above 35 hours that the person works, he will earn 12×2 = 24 hours.

If the person works for 42 hours, the additional number of hours that he has worked would be

42 - 35 = 7 hours

Total amount earned in the first 35 hours would be

12 × 35 = $420

Total amount earned in additional 7 hours would be

24 × 7 = $168

Total amount that he earned for working for 42 hours that week would be

420 + 168 = $588
