Susan worked overtime on Monday (1 hour), Wednesday (2.25 hours), and Friday (4 hours), totaling 7.25 hours of overtime. Her regular hours are 40 - 7.25 = 32.75 hours. Regular pay = 32.75 hours * $14.32/hour = $469.24. Overtime pay = 7.25 hours * $14.32/hour * 1.5 = $223.49. Total earnings = $469.24 + $223.49 = $692.73.
