    Answer:

     6

    Step-by-step explanation:

    For 35 hours, Candice is paid …

      ($8.50/h)(35 h) = $297.50

    Any amount in excess of that is paid at $10 per hour. The amount of excess pay is …

      $357.50 -297.50 = $60.00

    Then the number of overtime hours was …

      $60/($10/h) = 6 h

    Candice worked 6 hours over 35 last week.
