Amanda has a job that pays $35 per hour for the first 40 hours worked each week, plus 1.5 times this hourly rate for work done over 40 hours. Suppose Amanda works 50 hours this week. How much will she earn before taxes? $1,575
$1,750
$1,925
$2,625

$1925

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

• The wage for the first 40 hours of working is 35

• wage for time after working 40 hours is 1.5 times the previous

• Amanda worked for 50 hours

Find wage for time after 40 hours

1.5 * 35 = 52.5

earnings from first 40 hours, (35 dollars per hour)

40 * 35 = 1400

Amanda worked 10 hours past

10 * 52.5 = 525

Add

1400 + 525 = 1925

Amanda earned 1925 dollars

answer is x<
