40 hours  x   $11.28 = $451.20
Also Nelly has:  45 - 40 = 5 hours overtime:
5 hours  x $11.28  x  1.5 = $84.60
$451.20 + $84.60 = $535.80
Answer:  C ) $535.80 

Answer:

$535.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Earning $11.28 per hour for 40 hours is

11.28(40) = $451.20.

Overtime is any time over 40 hours; her overtime is 45-40 = 5 hours.

She earns time and a half for the hours over 40; this means we use

1.5(11.28)(5) to find the amount she earns in overtime:

1.5(11.28)(5) = $84.60

This gives her total gross pay as

451.20+84.60 = $535.80
