Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sybille worked 45 hours, which means she worked 5 hours of overtime (since regular hours are typically considered 40 hours per week).
Her regular pay for 40 hours would be:
40 hours x $10/hour = $400
Her overtime pay for 5 hours would be:
5 hours x $15/hour (time and a half) = $75
Therefore, her gross earnings for the week would be:
$400 + $75 = $475
Thus, the correct answer is D, $475.
