So time and a half means he makes half his wage extra per hour past 40. Half of 10$ is 5$. This means each hour past 40 he makes 15$/hr. This should help you answer the question.

460 is in my answers but i feel like it may not be it

anonymous · Answer

well it would be $460 if he didn't make a time and a half so at least you know it has to be more than $460.

rccb · Answer

well time and a half is just cutting the time in half and giving him that much in cash  right?

Some one getting a medal for not even knowing what they are talking about is quite dumb. Any one who works a full time job should know what time-and-a-half means.
