$\$724.45$

Work Step by Step

Math tutors get $\$8.15$ per hour. They get an additional $\$2.20$ per hour for each hour over 40 hours a week. A math tutor worked 42 hours one week and 45 hours the next week. The first week, he earned: $42*8.15 + (42-40)*2.20=342.30 + 4.40 = 346.70$ (dollars) The second week, he earned: $45*8.15 + (45-40)*2.20=366.75 + 11 = 377.75$ (dollars) In total, he earned: $346.70+377.75=724.45$ (dollars)
