Penelope Henry · Answer 1

i would say 322.50

Step-by-step explanation:

First i find 1.5 * $7.50 = 11.25. but because she worked 2 extra hours i double that

11.25*2=22.50

then i found out her oringinal hours

7.50*40=300

next i combined her original hours and her extra hours

300+22.50 = 322.50
