Brenda earns 1.5 times her normal hourly rate for each hour she works over 40 hours in a week. she worked 40 hours this week and earned $450. if she works 55 hours next week, how much money will she earn?

I belive it's $703.13

Step-by-step explanation:

She worked for 40 hrs which will give her, her normal pay. You do 450/40 to get 11.25. So her normal pay is $11.25. Then it says she earns 1.5 times the normal amount, so you would do 11.25 * 1.5. That equals 16.875. so her pay for every hour after 40. 55-40=15. That means she will have 15 hours where she gets 1.5 times her normal pay. So you do 16.875 * 15=253.125. She gets $253.125 for her extra 15 hours of work. Next, you need to add the total amount earned for the 40 hours. 450+253.125=703.125. Her total for the week she worked 55 hours she earns $703.13.

I hope this makes sence and helps. ( * means multiply)

b. f(x) = –√x + 3this is the correct answer
