Question 386433: 1) Trisha makes $12.50 an hour at her office job. However, if she works over 40 hours per week, she gets paid time-and-a-half for each hour of overtime (in other words, 1.5 times her regular hourly rate). To be able to pay her bills, Trisha needs to make at least $650 per week in overtime pay. How many overtime hours must she put in each week?

Overtime rate = 12.50*1.5=$18.75/hour
