496.25 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an employees earn $8.50 per hour for the first 40 hours per week 

and $12.50 rate for any hours worked over 40

If an employee works 52 1/2 hours

Let take away 40 hours from 52 1/2

That is 52 1/2 - 40 = 12 1/2 hours

The amount earn for 40 hours will be

40 × 8.5 = $340

The amount earn for the remaining hours will be

25/2 × 12.5 = $156.25

The total amount an employee earn to works for 52 1/2 hours will be

340 + 156.25 = $496.25
