HELP part A: Ms.Donaldson earns $18.80 per hour for the first 40 hours she works in a week. She earns 1 1/2 times that amount per hour for each out beyond 40 hours in a week. Last week Ms.Donaldson worked 45.5 hours. How much money did she earn? Part B: A health incurrence payment of 34.55 was deducted from Ms.Donaldson's earnings for the week. After the incurrence deduction, payroll taxes equal to 28% of the balance were deducted. What was the amount that Ms.Donaldson received afterwards?

A. $907.10

B. $628.236

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first 40 hours, Ms.Donaldson will earn: = 40 × $18.80 = $752.0

We are informed that Ms.Donaldson worked 45.5 hours, this means that she worked an extra 5.5 hours. The amount paid for the extra hour will be:

= 5.5 × 1.5 × 18.8

= $155.10

The amount she earned will be:

= $752.0 + $155.10

= $907.10

B. A health incurrence payment of $34.55 was deducted from Ms.Donaldson's earnings for the week. Therefore, the amount she will have after the deduction will be:

= $907.10 - $34.55

= $872.55

After the incurrence deduction, payroll taxes equal to 28% of the balance were deducted. What was the amount that Ms.Donaldson received afterwards?

This will be:

= $872.55 - (28% × $872.55)

= $872.55 - (0.28 × $872.55)

= $872.55 - $244.314

= $628.236

Answer given below

Step-by-step explanation:

When we calculate the LCM, you get it as 6.

So both the fractions should have a denominator 6.

For that, in 2/3 we should multiply both numerator and denominator with 2 so that denominator becomes 6.

When we convert to like fraction, 2/3 becomes 4/6.

Now both the fractions have common denominator

Hope it helps.
