well since its 40 hours for $8 each hours
he work total of 52 hours
52-40=12 over work which is $12 each hour overwork
so 8 times 40 plus 12 times 12
8 times 4p is for regular hour work and
12 times 12 is the hours overwork
8 times 40 is 320
12 times 12 is 144
144+320=464
the answer is $464 total pay for cook this week
hope u understand
