an employee who is making $7.5 an hour is promised a raise.
the next week the employee works 54 hour if he is paid time and a half over 40 hours and his paycheck was 594.75 what is the new hourly rate.
--------
Let the new hourly rate be "x":
Equation: 40x + 14[(3/2)x] = 594.75
-----
40x + 21x = 594.75
61x = 594.75
---
x = 9.75
