For 10 hours of job Gerald earns 8*10=80$

For 11 hours Gerald earns 8*10+9n. n - number of working hours over 10 hours.

if Gerald work 16 hours, then he work 6 hours after 10, so n=6

8*10+9*6=80+54=134$

Answer: Gerald earns 134$ if he works 16 hours in one week.

Sorry for my bad English pls:)

The total amount of money that Gerald would earn for 16 hours of work is $134.

The total amount of money Gerald earns is the sum of the base pay and the amount of money he earns for overtime.

Base pay = amount he earns per hour x (10h)

$8 x 10 = $80

Amount he earns for overtime = $9 x (16 hours - 10 hours)

$9 x 6 = $54

Total pay = $54 + 80 = $134
