Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jill earns $10 per hour. For a 40-hour workweek, she earns $400. So, in a single hour, she earns $10. To calculate Jill’s earnings for 46 hours:

40 hours * $10 = $400 
6 hours * $15 (overtime pay of 1.5 times her hourly rate) = $90

Total earnings = $400 + $90 = $490

Therefore, the minimum amount Jill earned last week is $490, which corresponds to option C: $490.
