    Ricardo will earn $1,029

    Explanation:

    Regular wage: $21 an hour for the first 40 hours

    If he works 46 hours

    For the first 40 hours, his wage will be $21 * 40 = $840

    Wage for each additional hour = 1.5 * regulate wage = 1.5 * $21 = $31.5

    Wage for additional 6 hours = $31.5 * 6 = $189

    Total wage = $840 + $189 = $1,029
