\n" ); document.write( " Her gross pay was $572. What was her hourly rate?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let h = the hourly rate
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "1.5h = the overtime rate
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "reg pay + overtime pay = total pay
\n" ); document.write( "40h + 8(1.5h) = 572
\n" ); document.write( "40h + 12h = 572
\n" ); document.write( "52h = 572
\n" ); document.write( "h = 572/12
\n" ); document.write( "h = $11 \n" ); document.write( "
