Penelope Schoenberg's overtime is calculated on a 40-hour workweek.

- Last week she worked 45.6 hours.
- This week she worked:
- Monday: 9.7 hours
- Tuesday: 8.3 hours
- Wednesday: 8 hours
- Thursday: 9.1 hours
- Friday: 8.6 hours

How many overtime hours did she work in the two weeks?

Answer :

Answer:

9.3

Step-by-step explanation:

last week she worked 45.6 hours. since 40 hours is the limit for normal working hours, she worked 45.6-40 = 5.6 hours overtime.

this week she worked 9.7+8.3+8+9.1+8.6 hours = 43.7 hours.

she worked therefore 43.7-40 = 3.7 hours overtime.

so, in total of the two weeks, she worked 5.6+3.7 = 9.3 hours overtime.
