Question 154850
{{{Problem}}}
Jojo earns $18.50 if he works 4 hours per day. Coca cola company required him for an overtime and worked additional 4 hours for that day. How much his earnings for that particular day with the overtime?
{{{Solution}}}
Let {{{x}}}= his salary for that day
Remember:
{{{18.50/4hours=x/(4+4)}}}. This equation states his basic pay per day $18.50/4 hours.Also equating it to his salary for his regular hours + overtime (4+4), got it? Continuing,
{{{18.50/4=x/8}}}, cross multiply
{{{18.50*8=4x}}} ----> {{{18.50*cross(8)2/cross(4)=cross(4)*x/cross(4)}}}
{{{18.50*2=x}}} ----> YOU CAN WRITE IT AS {{{18.50/0.5=x}}}, given equation
Remember: {{{1/0.5=2}}}
Continuing,
{{{37=x}}} -------> his salary
Thank you,
Jojo
