Answer 1

He will be paid $660

Answer 2

$660

Explanation:

We have been given that James pay is $12 an hour plus time and a half for overtime.

The pay for overtime would be
`\$12+(\$12)/(2)=\$12+\$6=\$18`.

The overtime pay for 10 hours would be
`\$18* 10=\$180`.

The regular pay for 40 hours would be
`\$12* 40=\$480`.

`\text{Total pay}=\text{regular pay}+\text{Overtime pay}`

`\text{Total pay}=\$480+\$180`

`\text{Total pay}=\$660`

Therefore, James's total pay would be $660.
