    Answer: option B is the correct answer.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Sammy is an hourly employee who makes $26 per hour as an elevator technician.

    He is paid overtime pay of time-and-a-half for every hour that he works over 40. This means that his pay in the first 40 hours would be

    40 * 26 = $1040

    His hourly rate for overtime would be

    26 + 26/2 = 26 + 13 = $39

    He worked 50 hours last week. This means that the number of hours that he worked overtime would be

    50 - 40 = 10 hours

    Amount earned for over is

    10 * 39 = $390

    His gross pay for the week would be

    1040 + 390 = $1430
