The pay, P, at a certain job is calculated by the formula P=Bh, where B is the base pay an h is the number of hours worked. If an employee works more than 40 hours in a week, the formula changes to P=40B+1.5B(h-40). If Susan had a base pay of $12.50 and worked 46 hours, what would be her pay for the week?

P=40B+1.5B(h-40)
= 40*12.5 + 1.5*12.5(46-40)
= 500+ 112.5
=$612.5
