Answer:
288.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Chloe's 8 overtime hours are paid at a rate that makes them equivalent to (1/2)×8 = 4 more hours of straight time. That is, Chloe's pay will be equivalent to 48+4 = 52 hours of straight time:
(52 h)(5.55/h) = 288.60
Chloe's total pay was 288.60.
_____
You can also figure this as ...
(40 h)(5.55/h) + (8 h)(1.5×5.55/h) = 222.00 +8(8.325) = 222.00 +66.60
= 288.60
