Helen earns $7.50 an hour at her job, but if she works more than 35 hours in a week,
\n" ); document.write( " she is paid 1 1/2 times her salary for the overtime hours worked.
\n" ); document.write( "One week her gross pay was $352.50. How many overtime hours did she work that week?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "1.5(7.50) = $11.25 hourly over time pay
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = no. of overtime hrs
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Reg pay + ot pay = 352.50
\n" ); document.write( "35(7.50) + 11.25t = 352.50
\n" ); document.write( "262.50 + 11.25t = 352.50
\n" ); document.write( "11.25t = 352.50 - 262.50
\n" ); document.write( "11.25t = 90
\n" ); document.write( "t = \"90%2F11.25\"
\n" ); document.write( "t = 8 over time hrs worked
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution:
\n" ); document.write( "35(7.50) + 8(11.25) =
\n" ); document.write( "262.50 + 90 = 352.50 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
