Answer 4

I saw you typing on this question, and instantly knew I was getting tagged

Answer 5

hehehehehe

Answer 6

for part a, if you wanted to find the money earned, you would simply multiply hourly wage * number of hours

what does that look like, using the numbers/values from the problem?

Answer 7

ummm M=12x?

Answer 8

good

Answer 9

for part b, do the same thing except using the overtime salary and the number of overtime hours

Answer 10

hmm that ones a little harder please help

Answer 11

same concept

number of hours * overtime hourly wage

Answer 12

Amount of wages earned = Regular rate per hour * Maximum number of regular working hours + Overtime rate per hour * Excess working hours
T = 12 * 30 + 16 * y
T = 360 + 16 y
or
T = 16 y + 360

Answer 13

did you copy-paste that from somewhere?

Answer 14

No, my mom was helping me in a google doc and i just pasted it here to see if it was right

Answer 15

do you understand what she wrote though? that's the important part

Answer 16

yes she explained :)

Answer 17

part c is where im a little hard

Answer 18

so if my overtime hourly wage is 25$ per hour and I work z hours, how would I find my overtime pay?

Answer 19

*z hours overtime

Answer 20

Given T = 408, find y:
408 = 16 y + 360
y = 3 hrs
Therefore the total hours Gary worked that week is,
x + y = 30 + 3 = 33 hrs
(x = 30 since that is the maximum limit for regular working hours)

Answer 21

please answer my question

Answer 22

if I work z hours overtime, and my overtime wage is $25 per hour, what's my overtime pay?

Answer 23

Answer 24

Answer 25

I am testing to see if you really understand it, or if you are just copy-pasting someone else's work
