a worker worked 8 hours at reg pay rate and 3 hours overtime at time & half. the total pay for the day was $183.75.find the reg hourly pay.
------------------------
Let regular pay rate be "2x"
Then overtime pay rate is "3x"
------------------------------------
Value Equation:
(2x)8 + (3x)3 = 183.75 dollars
16x + 9x = 183.75
25x = 183.75
x = 7.35
----------------------------
Reg hourly pay = 2x = 2(7.35) = $14.70
==========================================
