Problem

An ordinary clock in a factory is running slow so that the minute hand passes the hour hand at the usual dial position($12$ o'clock, etc.) but only every $69$ minutes. At time and one-half for overtime, the extra pay to which a $\textdollar 4.00$ per hour worker should be entitled after working a normal $8$ hour day by that slow running clock, is

$\textbf{(A) }\textdollar 2.30\qquad \textbf{(B) }\textdollar 2.60\qquad \textbf{(C) }\textdollar 2.80\qquad \textbf{(D) }\textdollar 3.00\qquad \textbf{(E) }\textdollar 3.30$

Solution

$\boxed{\textbf{(B) }$2.60}$.
