Answer: $1,540

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following amount charged by a worker :

First 45 hours = $14 per hour

time and half for the next 10 hours

Double time for all hours after that:

If he worked for 80 hours :

First 45 hours = (45 × $14) = $630

Next 10 hours:

Time and half for 10 hours is equivalent to (10 × 1.5) = 15 hours

(15 × $14) = $210

Double time for all subsequent hours :

80 - (45 + 10) = 80 - 55 = 25

Double time : (2 × 25) = 50 hours

(50 × 14) = $700

Hence, total amount earned :

($630 + $210 + $700)

= $1,540
