Answer:

Tiffany's total pay is $451.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided can be summarized as follows:

  • Tiffany Newman's hourly rate as a clerk for a circuit judge is, $9.50.
  • Overtime rate: hourly rate × 1.5
  • Total number of hours worked by Tiffany: 40 hours
  • Overtime hours: 5 hours

Compute Tiffany's total pay for 40 hours:

T = 40 × $9.50

  = $380

Compute Tiffany's total pay for 5 hours overtime:

O = 5 × $9.50 × 1.5

   = $71.25

Compute Tiffany's total pay as follows:

Tiffany's total pay = Total pay for 40 hours + Total pay for 5 hours Overtime

                              = $380 + $71.25

                              = $451.25

Thus, Tiffany's total pay is $451.25.
