A workman's basic hourly wage is $12, but he receives one and a half times his hourly rate for any hours worked in excess of 40 per week. If his paycheck for the week is $750, how many hours of overtime did he work?
----------------------
Equations:
Overtime rate:: $18/hr
---------------------------
40 hr pay = 12*40 = $480.00
---
Overtime Hours = (750-480)/18 = 270/18 = 15 hours
