Answer:

Hence, the amount she receives for working for 47 hours is:

$ 637.31

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Jesse earns $12.62 an hour, plus she earns overtime for hours exceeding 40 hours per week.

she gets time and a half for overtime i..e she receives [tex]1\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] or we can say [tex]\dfrac{3}{2}=1.5[/tex] times the salary she gets for regular hours.

Now, her weekly pay for 47 hours will be calculated as:

40×12.65+1.5×12.65×7=$ 637.31.

Hence, the amount she receives for working for 47 hours is:

$ 637.31
