Answer: option B is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Sammy is an hourly employee who makes $26 per hour as an elevator technician.
He is paid overtime pay of time-and-a-half for every hour that he works over 40. This means that his pay in the first 40 hours would be
40 × 26 = $1040
His hourly rate for overtime would be
26 + 26/2 = 26 + 13 = $39
He worked 50 hours last week. This means that the number of hours that he worked overtime would be
50 - 40 = 10 hours
Amount earned for over is
10 × 39 = $390
His gross pay for the week would be
1040 + 390 = $1430
