Answer:
Ricardo will earn $1029.
Step-by-step explanation:
Regular wage: $21 an hour for the first 40 hours
If he works 46 hours
For the first 40 hours, his wage will be $21 × 40 = $840
Wage for each additional hour = 1.5 × regulate wage = 1.5 × $21 = $31.5
Wage for additional 6 hours = $31.5 × 6 = $189
Total wage = $840 + $189 = $1,029.
