a) He will earn $584 for working 36 hours.

b) He will earn $656 for working 39 hours.

c) He will earn $728 for working 42 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount per hour = $16

Time and a half means 1.5 times more than the original payment.

Therefore, above 35 hours, the earning for one hour,

Extra time per hour = 16*1.5 = $24

A) 36 h

For the first 35 hours, he will get $16 per hour, therefore,

Amount of 35 hours = [tex]35*16= \$560[/tex]

Amount of one hour = $24 (as calculated above)

Total = 560+24 = $584

He will earn $584 for working 36 hours.

B) 39 h

39 h = 35h + 4h

Amount of 35 hours = $560

Amount of extra 4 hours = $24*4 = $96

Total = 560+72 = $656

He will earn $656 for working 39 hours.

C) 42 h

42 h = 35h + 7h

Amount of 35 hours = $560

Amount of extra 7 hours = 24*7 = $168

Total = 560+168 = $728

He will earn $728 for working 42 hours.
