So we're told that helen earned $750 an hour and that she made $352 .50 in one week.
00:14
So how much or how many hours did she work? now, there's a twist.
00:19
If she works more than 35 hours per week, the excess hours are going to be paid at 1 .5.
00:37
One and a half times the original, which is $750 .50.
00:47
So, let's going to say this is plus 35.
00:51
So she is going to be paid $11 .25 per hour if she exceeds the 35 hour limit.
01:04
So let's find out how much she will make if she only makes the $750, if she only earns $7 .50 an hour.
01:15
So the limit is 750 times 35, right? so let's say she works 35 hours.
01:24
She's going to be earning $750 for all of those hours.
01:27
So that is going to be equal to $262 .50.
01:36
So we can see that her gross pay for this given week exceeds $262 .50, right? which means that she must have worked more than 35 hours.
01:48
So we are going to create an equation for how much she is making...
