Question 915558: Joel's paycheck include his regular pay, $540, plus 5 hours of overtime. He got paid a total of $621. Write the equation that would help us determine how much he gets paid for each hour of overtime.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! We know that he made $540 for 40 hours
He worked 5 extra hours. Using the time * rate = profit,
the following question will help us out:
540 + 5(rate) = 621
5(rate) = 621-540 = 81
rate/5 = 81/5
