Question 321164
Helen earns $7.50 an hour at her job, but if she works more than 35 hours in a week she is paid 1.5 times her regular salary for the overtime hours worked. One week her gross pay was $352.50. How many overtime hours did she work that week?
----------------------
Solve:
Let "x" be # of hours over 35.
(x)(1.5)(7.50) = 352.50 - 35*7.50
 11.25x = 90
x = 8 hrs of overtime.
