Marie earns $16 per hour for overtime hours. She worked 8 hours overtime last week
and 6 hours overtime this week. Which expression could be used to find Marie’s overtime pay for
the two-week period?  Choose the correct choice from the following.
A) $16 8 6 B) $16(8 6) C) 8(6) $16 D) 6($16 8) E) 8(6) 8($16)
You’re right if you chose (2) $16(8 6). In this expression, $16 (the overtime hourly wage) is   multiplied by the sum of 8 and 6 (the total overtime hours worked).   There is another way to work the problem. You could find the overtime pay for each week and   add: $16(8) $16(6). Both choice (2) and this expression yield the same result. Both are correct.   $16(8 6) $16(14) $224 $16(8) $16(6) $128 $96 $224   correct answer $16(8 6)
