Suppose she works X hours in a week.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "According to question, if x < 40
\n" ); document.write( "$20 per hour for the first 40 hours
\n" ); document.write( "hence Total earnings F(x) = 20 X\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If X>40
\n" ); document.write( "$20 per hour for the first 40 hours
\n" ); document.write( "Hence earnings for the first 40 hours= 20*40 = $800\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Total earnings F(x)= 800 + 30(X-40)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
