$138

Step-by-step explanation:

Paid/hour = $16 for working 8 hours

Paid for each additional hour after 8 hours = 1.5 times $16= $24

Work Timings :

Slot 1 = 8:15 AM - 12:45 PM = 4 hours 30 mins

Break = 45 mins

Slot 2 =  1:15 PM - 6:15 PM = 4 hours 45 mins

Total hours Rita worked on Monday = 4 hours 30 mins + 4 hours 45 mins

                                                              = 9 hours 15 mins

For first 8 hours,

she gets paid = $16 x 8 = $108

for additional hour i.e. 1 hour =$24 x 1 = $24

for additional 15 mins.

for additional 60 mins, she gets paid $24

so, for additional 15 mins , she gets paid = x 15 = $6

so Total money that Rita earned on Monday = $108 + $24 + $6 = $138
