You are exploring a career in nursing in the state of MA. The average hourly wage for RN is $33.37. You are planning to work 40 regular hours +8 hours overtime at time and a half every week. What were your weekly earnings be?

$1,735.24

Step-by-step explanation:

"at time and a half" basically means 1.5

So, the overtime would be 1.5 times the normal hourly wage.

40 regular hours * $33.37 = $1334.8

8 overtime hours * (1.5 * $33.37) = $400.44

$1334.8 + $400.44 = $1735.24

So, the total weekly pay is $1735.24.
