Answer 4

OK so he worked 40 regular hours, and 7 over time hours. We have to find the price of both and add the together

Do you know how to solve for the regular hours first?

Answer 5

If he works $16 an hour, and he works for 40 regular hours, how much would that be?

Answer 6

okay so i have to figure out the second one first ? @sammixboo

Answer 7

The first one first, so If he works $16 an hour, and he works for 40 regular hours, how much would that be?

Answer 8

i do 40 x 7?

Answer 9

No :P 16*40 for the first 40 hours

Answer 10

which is 640 ;)

Answer 11

Yes, so we have $640, now for the 7 hours.

Give me a scond to explain =)

Answer 12

Since he works 1.5 times more every hour he works over 40 hours, we must find out how much he works an hour by multiplying 16*1.5

Answer 13

1 1/2 = 1.5

Answer 14

Answer 16

Good, so he works for 7 over time hours, and if he worked for $24 an hour, how much did he get for 7 overtime hours?

Answer 17

Answer 18

Correct, so add the two prices together =)

Answer 19

168 + 640

Answer 20

168 + 640 =808
