Wrong answer.
5x40 = 200
5x1.5x5 = 37.5

First, to find his regular pay for 40 hours:
40*5.00=$200
Then, find out how much he gets per overtime hour:
5*1.5= $7.50/OT hour
Then, find his overtime pay:
5*7.50= 37.5
Add them up
200+37.5=$237.50
So, you were off by seven dollars.

he worked 40 hours at 5 hr= 200
plus 5 hours at time and half 7.50= 37.50
237.50
