Linda is paid double her normal hourly rate for each hour she works over 40 hours in a week. Last
week she worked 52 hours and earned $544. What is her hourly pay?

Sagot :

Answer:

her hourly pay is £8.50

Step-by-step explanation:

h= hourly pay

n = number of hours worked over 40 hours in a week

week pay = 40h + (n x 2 x h)

544 = 40h + 2nh

52 - 40 = 12, so n = 12

544 = 40h + 2 x 12 x h

544 = 40h + 24h

544 = 64h

544/64 = 8.5 h=8.5 (£8.50)

just to check:

£8.50 x 40 = £340

£8.50 x 2 x 12 = 204

340 + 204 = 544 yayy the answer is correct

hope this helps x
