I would recommend writing this down somewhere.

When you work more than 40 hours a week, any hours over 40 are called "overtime" hours.

Cindy worked 43 hours, which means she worked 43 - 40 = 3 overtime hours.

She will get paid for the regular 40 hours at $7/hr, so 40*7

She will also get paid 1.5 * her salary for overtime hours. So 3 hours * 1.5 * 7.

Add the overtime and regular hour income.
