    Her total earnings is $1862

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Marissa earns $38 per hour for the first 40 hours in a week.

    For every hour after the first 40 hours that she works in a week, she earns 1.5 times her regular rate.

    If Marissa worked 46 hours in a week, she makes:

    For the first 40 hours, she earns; $38 * 40 = $1520

    Number of extra hours she works = 46 hours - 40 hours = 6 hours.

    For the extra hours that she works, she earns; 1.5 * $38 * 6 = $342

    Her total earnings = $1520 + $342 = $1862
