Sandra, who is paid time and a half for hours of work in excess of 40 hours, had a gross weekly wage of 442 for 48 hours ' work.
00:10
What is her regular hourly rate? so let's just get some information here.
00:16
So right now, her hourly rate is unknown.
00:22
So let that be x.
00:24
Let x be her hourly rate.
00:27
And we also know she got to work 48 hours this week, 40 of it is regular, and then 8 over time.
00:42
And then we also know she got a total pay of 4402 for that.
00:50
Okay, so let's make an equation that can represent this.
00:55
So we know that if she worked 40 hours, she got paid x, which is our hourly rate.
01:03
Normal hourly rate, but because she added eight hours, she gets to have 1 .5 times her normal rate, and this total to $442.
01:18
Now we just need to solve for x.
01:21
So this is 40x plus 12x equals 442, and this is 52x equals 442...
