Please help I am being timed

She earned 868,5 in total last week.

Step-by-step explanation:

18 x 40 = 720 --> earned during the first 40 hours of work

27 x 5,5 = 148,5

148,5 + 720 = 868,5--> total

$868.50

Step-by-step explanation:

She worked for 40 hours and gained $18 per hour. That equals $720. She then worked for 5.5 more hours gaining $27 an hour. That equals $148.5. Add those together and you get $148.50.

she was supposed to add the hours(38.5) and multiply the amount of money she earned(7.50) resulting in $288.75 .

correct me if i'm wrong and if it is i'm truly sorry.
