Christine worked 52 hours last week. If her regular hourly rate is $8 per hour and she is paid 1.5 times her hourly rate for every hour beyond 40 hours, what was her weekly paycheck?
A) $416
B) $426
C) $464
D) $576

So, we know Christine worked 52 hours that week. We know every hour she works extra from 40 hours she is paid times 1.5 that of her regular pay rate which is $8/hour.

52 - 40 = 12(extra hours she worked)

1.5 * 8 = 12(her rate of pay per hour when she works hours longer than 40 hours a week)

12 * 12 = 144(her extra money for working extra hours)

So, $144 is her EXTRA cash for working those 12 extra hours. But we're not done, we need to found out her REGULAR pay for the 40 hours she worked.

8 * 40 = 320

320 + 144 = 464

Christine's weekly paycheck was $464.
