Question 1005016: Malden is paid $14.75 an hour. He gets paid time-and-a-half for each overtime hour he works over 40 hours a week. One week he makes $722.75. How many hours of overtime did he work? Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! He makes 40(14.75) + x(1.5)(14.75) = 722.75
Now solve this for x.
590 + 22.125x = 722.75
22.125x = 132.75
x = 6 hours overtime
