Question

Andrew makes $6 an hour plus $9 an hour for every hour of overtime. Overtime hours are any hours more than 40 hours for the week.

Part A: Create an equation that shows the amount of wages earned, W, for working x hours in a week when there is no overtime. (3 points)

Part B: Create an equation that shows the amount of wages earned, S, for working y hours of overtime. Hint: Remember to include in the equation the amount earned from working 40 hours. (3 points)

Part C: Andrew earned $330 in 1 week. How many hours (regular plus overtime) did he work? (4 points)
im stuck on part C

Answer 1

Ah ok, so I assume for part A you have W=6x and for part B you have S=240+9y so for the final part since he made 330 he made some overtime, so basically use your second equation to solve for the overtime and add the 40 normal hours he worked

Answer 2

so 330=240=9y?

Answer 3

er yeah 330=240+9y
