Answer 1

Her weekly overtime is $580.56 if I'm correct.

Answer 2

Deedee's earning for the overtime = $580.50

Explanation:

Deedee Katz earns a regular hourly rate = $32.25 and time

and overtime earning is time and a half of $32.25

So earnings from the overtime = 32.25×1.5 = $48.375 per hour

In a week, she works for 40 regular hours and 12 hours overtime.

Deedee's earnings for the overtime of 12 hours = 12×48.375 = $580.50

Therefore, her overtime earnings for the week is = $580.50
