9 hours per day for 6 days is equal to 54 hours.
54 hours * 5 weeks is equal to 270 hours.
6 * 270 hours = 1620.
1800 - 1620 = 180.
180 / 9 = 20 hours of overtime.

the worker worked 20 hours overtime.
normal hours for 5 weeks is equal to 9 * 6 * 5 = 270 hours.

270 hours * 6 per hour normal pay = 1620
20 * 9 per hour overtime pay = 180
1620 + 180 = 1800
