Answer:

  c. 23.63

Step-by-step explanation:

"Time and a half" means each hour of overtime is paid at 1.5 times the regular pay rate. Hence, an hour of overtime earns ...

Additional comment

The rounding of overtime pay will occur at the end of the computation. The first hour of overtime (and each odd hour) will earn $23.63, but the second hour (and each even hour) will earn only $23.62.

That is, total pay for 2 hours of overtime will not be 2 × $23.63 = $47.26, but will be 2 × $23.625 = $47.25.
