Question 433192: Soledad worked 48 hr one week and earned $442 paycheck. She earns time and a half for hours she works in excess of 40. What is Soledad's regular hourly wage? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If Soledad gets time and a half for overtime, then:
40x+8(1.5)x=442
40x+12x=442
52x=442
x=8.50
Soledad gets $8.50 per hour, and $12.75 for overtime.
