Complete question

Find gross pay when she works 46 hours a week

Solution

For working hours less than or equal to 40 hours, kim earns 10.90  per hour

For working hours higher than the basic 40 hours of working, the per hour rate increases by 1.5 time = 1.5 *10.90 = 16 dollars per hour

Gross pay for 46 working hours = 40 *10.90 + 6*16 =  532 dollars per week
