First you multiply how much they make per hour by the number of hours they worked that weren’t overtime. So you would multiply 4.9 and 40.

4.9 (40) = $196

Then you multiply 7.35 and the number of hours worked overtime. To find the number of hours worked overtime you would subtract 40 from 46.

46-40=6

Now you multiply again.

7.35 (6) = $44.10

Then you add the two amounts made together.

196+44.10=$240.10

The student makes $240.10.
