    a) $926.40

    b) $606.32

    Step-by-step explanation:

    a)

    If she worked a total of 45.5 hours, she will receive $19.20 per hour in the first 40 hours and 1.5 * $19.20 for the exceeding 5.5 hours, so her earnings is:

    19.2 * 40 + 1.5 * 5.5 * 19.2 = $926.40

    b)

    The deduction is $34.75, so the remaining will be:

    926.40 - 34.75 = $891.65

    Then, after this deduction, the taxes is 32% of the remaining, so:

    891.65 - 0.32 * 891.65 = $606.32

    She received $606.32
