Question

You have a job that pays $ 6.20 an hour. You
get $ 8.30 an hour for overtime (anything over
40 hours).
How many hours do you need to work to
earn $289.5?
Answer in units of hours

Answer 1

6.20x+8.30(40+x)=289.5

Answer 2

Solve for x

Answer 3

hmm wait that's wrong..

Answer 4

40*6.20=248, so you need to work longer than 40 hours

Answer 5

289.5-248=41.5

41.5/8.3= 5

So you need to work a total of 40+5=45 hours.
