When Julia works overtime, she is paid 1 1/2 times as much per hour as she normally is. After working her usual 40 hours last week, she worked an additional 8 hours overtime. If she made $520 last week, find her normal hourly wage. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let her normal hourly wage be \"x\".
\n" ); document.write( "Value of 40 normal hours of work is 40x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "Value of 8 hours of overtime is 1.5*8x = 12x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "value + value = 520 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "40x +12x = 520
\n" ); document.write( "52x = 520
\n" ); document.write( "x=10 dollars per hour (Julia's normal hourly pay)
\n" ); document.write( "---------
