Question 1186621
------------------------------------------------
Aljur claims he earns $7500 an hour at his job. 
------------------------------------------------


What he earns, and what he claims, are two different things.



----------------------------------------------------------------
If he works more than 35 hours in a week, he is paid 1.5 times his regular salary for the overtime hours worked. One week his gross pay was $352500. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------


We only KNOW that his normal time is 35 hours and overtime is at 1.5 times the normal hourly rate.
  

Again we are not actually given his true hourly rate.



-----------------------------------------------
How many overtime hours did he work that week?
----------------------------------------------


This is all that should be done.
w, his actual hourly rate
x, his hours of overtime
35, assumed hours of normal time actually worked


{{{35w+1.5xw=352500}}}
You can solve this for x, and maybe substitute w=7500.
