Question 1095733: Max worked at a restaurant where he is paid by the hour plus time-and-a-half for his hours over 40. Last week worked 7 hours overtime and his gross pay was 835.56. What is his hourly wage?
Answer by greenestamps(13198) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

7 hours of overtime at time-and-a-half is like 10.5 regular hours. So with 7 hours of overtime above the 40 hours, he should get paid for 50.5 hours.

His hourly wage is about $16.55. But the division is not exact; so some numbers in the problem must be rounded off.

Or the numbers shown in the problem are not correct....
