the answer must be $506 if the overtime pay is half of the regular pay(typo error in question- 11/2 times given), as 40*(11.5) + 8*0.5*11.5 = 506

I found the question confusing. If she earns $11.5 per hour in regular time then for working 40 hours she earns $460. If she earns 5.5 times $11.5 per hour in overtime then after after working 8 hours of working overtime, she earns $506. So in total she earns $460 + $506 = $966.
