Hello, I do not understand why the answer is 579.60. To get my overtime I multiplied the wage rate of 11.80 with 1.5 and got $17.70. I multiplied $17.70 by the hours overtime, which was 4 hours and I got $70.80 as the amount made over time. To get the amount earned during regular hours I multiplied 40 hours by the wage rate of $11.80 and got $472. I then added $70.80, $472, and $35.20 to get my answer of $578.
