Answer 2

for part C

hope you know a week has 5 workdays with 8 h/day so a week has 5*8=40 h/week

she get $8 for 1 hour so a week for 40 hours how many she will get ?
how many you get here ,subtract from this total amount of $368 and in this way will get the money what she earned for overtime hours
- dividing these money what she get for overtime hours by 12 so will get the time in hours how much she worked overtime

hope helped understandably
