Gerald earns a base hourly rate of $8 per hour at his job. However, if he works more than 10 hours in a week, he earns $9 per hour for each hour he works after the first 10 hours. How much money does Gerald earn if he works 16 hours in one week?

The total amount of money that Gerald would earn for 16 hours of work is $134.

The total amount of money Gerald earns is the sum of the base pay and the amount of money he earns for overtime.

Base pay = amount he earns per hour x (10h)

$8 x 10 = $80

Amount he earns for overtime = $9 x (16 hours - 10 hours)

$9 x 6 = $54

Total pay = $54 + 80 = $134
