Let's do this in python 3. We can calculate the pay for the regular hours and the pay for overtime hours, then sum them up.

def weekly_pay (hourly_wage, total_regular_hours, total_overtime_hours):

regular_hours_pay = hourly_wage*total_regular_hours

overtime_hours_pay = 1.5*hourly_wage*total_overtime_hours

return regular_hours_pay + overtime_hours_pay
