Let the regular hours that Helen worked be \"h\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then the overtime hours that she worked will be \"h+-+35\"
\n" ); document.write( "In words,
\n" ); document.write( "gross pay = (regular hrs)(reg dollars/hr) + (overtime hrs)(overtime dollars/hr)
\n" ); document.write( "\"380+=+7.6h+%2B+%281.5%2A7.6%29%2A%28h+-+35%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"380+=+7.6h+%2B+11.4%2A%28h+-+35%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"380+=+7.6h+%2B+11.4h+-+399\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"380+=+19h+-+399\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"19h+=+779\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"h+=+41\"
\n" ); document.write( "This is the regular hrs worked
\n" ); document.write( "Overtime hours worked = \"h+-+35\"
\n" ); document.write( "Overtime hours worked = \"41+-+35\"
\n" ); document.write( "So, Helen worked 6 hours overtime that week answer
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
