B. [tex]$569.75
C. $[/tex]331.25



Answer :

Alright, let's work through this step-by-step to determine your total earnings over the two weeks.

1. Find the total number of hours worked:
- In Week 1, you worked 25 hours.
- In Week 2, you worked 18 hours.
- To find the total number of hours worked over both weeks, add the hours from Week 1 and Week 2 together:
[tex]\[ \text{Total hours worked} = \text{Hours in Week 1} + \text{Hours in Week 2} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Total hours worked} = 25 + 18 = 43 \text{ hours} \][/tex]

2. Calculate the total earnings:
- You earn [tex]$13.25 per hour. - To find your total earnings, multiply the total hours worked by your hourly wage: \[ \text{Total earnings} = \text{Total hours worked} \times \text{Hourly wage} \] \[ \text{Total earnings} = 43 \times 13.25 = \$[/tex]569.75
\]

Therefore, over the two weeks, you earned a total of [tex]\( \$569.75 \)[/tex].

So, the correct answer is:
B) $569.75
