Question 879012: She gets paid $8 per hour for the first 40 hours and $12 per hour for each hour in the week worked over 40 hours. Her goal is to earn at least $380 per week. How many hours of overtime per week will she need to achieve her goal?

The first 40 hours are paid at a straight rate of $8. 40*$8=$320.
$380 - $320 = $60
How many overtime hours are needed to earn $60?
$60/$12 = 5
She needs to work at least 5 hours of overtime per week to reach her goal.
