She worked $\"+51+\"$ hrs
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+40+\"$ hrs was at normal pay
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+11+\"$ hrs was at $\"+1.5+\"$ times normal pay
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+x+\"$ = her normal hourly pay
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+40x+%2B+11%2A1.5%2Ax+=+378.55+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+40x+%2B+16.5x+=+378.55+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+56.5x+=+378.55+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+6.7+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Her normal pay is $6.70 / hr\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
