$300 a week/40 hours a week = $7.50 per hour
7.5 per hour *1.5 (time and a half overtime) = 11.25
$11.25 per hour overtime wage
The correct answer is "D"

If he earns $300 for 40 hours a week, then his hourly wage is calculated by doing 300/40 = $7.50.
He earns $7.50 per week. Time and a half means what he normally earns plus half of his normal hourly wage. Half of 7.50 is 3.75. To find his overtime wage, add 7.50 + 3.75 = $11.25
The answer is choice D.
