Question 119949
Let the regular hours that Helen worked be {{{h}}}
Then the overtime hours that she worked will be {{{h - 35}}}
In words,
gross pay = (regular hrs)(reg dollars/hr) + (overtime hrs)(overtime dollars/hr)
{{{380 = 7.6h + (1.5*7.6)*(h - 35)}}}
{{{380 = 7.6h + 11.4*(h - 35)}}}
{{{380 = 7.6h + 11.4h - 399}}}
{{{380 = 19h - 399}}}
{{{19h = 779}}}
{{{h = 41}}}
This is the regular hrs worked
Overtime hours worked = {{{h - 35}}}
Overtime hours worked = {{{41 - 35}}}
So, Helen worked 6 hours overtime that week answer
