Hi there.
00:03
This is dan with numerate.

Today we're going to be looking at a question where someone earns $451 .25 for 40 hours of normal time plus five hours at one and a half time pay.
00:27
And we're going to find the amount of money that this person makes is going to come out to $9 .50 in $5 .50 per hour.
00:45
So how do we get there? when we know the total amount, we know the number of normal hours that they worked, and we know the number of hours that they worked at one and a half times pay.
00:58
So what we're missing is x, which is the number or the amount that they make per hour.
01:12
Because if we have the amount of hours they work, we have the amount that they make per hour, that should equal the total amount of money that they made.
01:21
So we take our $451 in 25 cents, and we set that equal to the amount of hours that they worked, the normal hours of 40, and we can normalize their overtime hours by taking five times one and a half.
01:37
It gives us seven and a half...
