Answer:

$195.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Hugo works in a shop, his normal rate of pay is $9.00 per hour, when Hugo works on Sundays he is paid overtime for each hour, the over time rate pay is 11/3 times his normal hourly rate.

Let us find Hugo's rate of pay while working overtime by finding 11/3 times of 9.

[tex]\text{Hugo' rate of pay while working overtime}=\frac{\$9}{Hour}\times \frac{11}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Hugo' rate of pay while working overtime}=\frac{\$3}{Hour}\times 11[/tex]

[tex]\text{Hugo' rate of pay while working overtime}=\frac{\$33}{Hour}[/tex]

Therefore, Hugo's is paid at rate of $33 per hour while he works overtime.

[tex]\text{Hugo got for overtime last Sunday}=4 \times \$33[/tex]

[tex]\text{Hugo got for overtime last Sunday}=\$132[/tex]

[tex]\text{Hugo got for working last Saturday}=\$9\times 7[/tex]

[tex]\text{Total amount earned by last weekend}=\$63+\$132[/tex]

[tex]\text{Total amount earned by last weekend}=\$195[/tex]

Therefore, Hugo earned $195 last weekend.
