$\"Problem\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Jojo earns $18.50 if he works 4 hours per day. Coca cola company required him for an overtime and worked additional 4 hours for that day. How much his earnings for that particular day with the overtime?
\n" ); document.write( " $\"Solution\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"x\"$ = his salary for that day
\n" ); document.write( "Remember:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"18.50%2F4hours=x%2F%284%2B4%29\"$ . This equation states his basic pay per day $18.50/4 hours.Also equating it to his salary for his regular hours + overtime (4+4), got it? Continuing,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"18.50%2F4=x%2F8\"$ , cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( " $\"18.50%2A8=4x\"$ ----> $\"18.50%2Across%288%292%2Fcross%284%29=cross%284%29%2Ax%2Fcross%284%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"18.50%2A2=x\"$ ----> YOU CAN WRITE IT AS $\"18.50%2F0.5=x\"$ , given equation
\n" ); document.write( "Remember: $\"1%2F0.5=2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Continuing,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"37=x\"$ -------> his salary
\n" ); document.write( "Thank you,
