Question 1198947

Let {{{r}}} be the base wage rate in $/hr
Let {{{w}}} be the  # weekly hours worked up to {{{40}}}
Let {{{s}}}  be the  # Sunday hours worked
Let {{{o }}} be the   # other overtime hours worked

If Leigh  worked {{{50}}} hours, {{{4}}} of which were on Sunday, then

{{{w + o + s = 50}}}

where
{{{w=40}}}
{{{s =4}}}

=>{{{o=50-40-4=6}}}


Given:
multiplier for {{{w}}} hours is{{{ 1}}}
multiplier for {{{o}}} hours is{{{ 1.5}}}
multiplier for {{{s}}} hours is {{{2}}}

let {{{r }}} be  the base wage rate in $/hr, then

{{{w *r+ 1.5or + 2sr =456}}}
{{{40r+ 1.5*6r + 8r =456}}}
{{{40r+ 9r + 8r =456}}}
{{{57r =456}}}
{{{r =456/57}}}
{{{r=8.00}}}

her regular hourly rate is ${{{8.00.}}}
