PLEASE HELP!!!!
When working overtime, an auto mechanic gets paid 1.5 times the normal hourly wage. Overtime is the amount of time worked beyond 40 hours in a week. The auto mechanic's normal hourly wage is $20.00. Last week, the auto mechanic worked 46 hours.

Part A- Write an expression to represent the amount of money earned last week.

Part B- Evaluate the expression you wrote in Part A to find the amount of money earned last week.

Answer:

1.5 x 20.00 = 30 so that means he gets paid an extra $30.00. The expression would be (1.5 x 20.00)x6

The evaluation for the expression would be 180

Answer: A) 20(40) + 1.5(20)(6)

                B) $980

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The mechanic gets paid $20 per hour for 40 hours --> 20(40)

                            plus

  1.5 times 20 for 6 hours (number of hours over 20)  --> 1.5(20)(6)

 = 20(40) + 1.5(20)(6)

B)   800    +    180

  =        980
