    The amount Lea can earn at her job is shown:

    She earns $7 per hour for the first 40 hours.

    She earns 1.5 times the hourly wage for every hour over 40 hours.

    Which piecewise-defined function best represents Lea’s weekly pay, P(h), where h represents the hours worked?

    P(h)= 7h, 0≤h≤40

    P(h)=10.5h−140, h>40

    P(h)= 7h, 0<h<40

    P(h)= 10.5h−140, h>40

    P(h)= 7h, 0≤h≤40

    P(h)= 10.5h+140, h≥40

    P(h)= 7h, 0<h<40

    P(h)= 10.5h+140, h≥40
