Step-by-step explanation:

For 35 hours, Candice is paid ...

  ($8.50/h)(35 h) = $297.50

Any amount in excess of that is paid at $10 per hour. The amount of excess pay is ...

  $357.50 -297.50 = $60.00

Then the number of overtime hours was ...

  $60/($10/h) = 6 h

Candice worked 6 hours over 35 last week.
