Question 1198945
<br>
As in the other similar problem, if you want to solve the problem without formal algebra, you can consider that the 8 hours of overtime at time-and-a-half are worth 8*1.5=12 regular hours; so she worked the equivalent of 40+12 = 52 hours.<br>
Then divide her wages of $442 by 52 to find that her hourly rate is $8.50.<br>
