$10.50 is the rate for time and a half
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+r+\"$ = the regular rate
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1.5r+=+10.5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+r+=+7+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+40+\"$ hrs at $7/hr is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+40%2A7+=+280+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+54-+40+=+14+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+14+\"$ hrs at time and a half is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+14%2A10.5+=+147+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+280+%2B+147+=+427+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "That makes $427 total\r
