Mia worked 9 hours on Monday, 10 hours on Tuesday, 8 hours on Wednesday, 9 hours on Thursday, 8 hours on Friday, and 5 hours on Sunday. Her total hours worked during the week is 9 + 10 + 8 + 9 + 8 + 5 = 49 hours. Her regular hourly rate is $10 per hour, so her total gross wages for the week is 49 * $10 = $490. She also worked 1 hour of overtime on Monday, 2 hours of overtime on Tuesday, and 5 hours of overtime on Sunday. Her overtime pay rate is $10 * 1.5 = $15 per hour, so her total overtime pay for the week is (1 + 2 + 5) * $15 = $120. Her total gross wages for the week is $490 + $120 = $610.
