Gary earns $12 an hour plus $16 an hour for every hour of overtime. Overtime hours are any hours more than 30 hours for the week. Part A: Create an equation that shows the amount of money earned, M, 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, T, for working y hours of overtime. Hint: Remember to include in the equation the amount earned from working 30 hours. (3 points) Part C: Gary earned $408 in 1 week. How many hours (regular plus overtime) did he work? Show your work. (4 points)

@Vocaloid @ThisGirlPretty @Ultrilliam

Ultrilliam:

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

cookiemonster:

hehehehehe

Vocaloid:

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?

cookiemonster:

ummm M=12x?

Vocaloid:

good

Vocaloid:

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

cookiemonster:

hmm that ones a little harder please help

Vocaloid:

same concept number of hours * overtime hourly wage

cookiemonster:

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

Vocaloid:

did you copy-paste that from somewhere?

cookiemonster:

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

Vocaloid:

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

cookiemonster:

yes she explained :)

cookiemonster:

part c is where im a little hard

Vocaloid:

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

Vocaloid:

*z hours overtime

cookiemonster:

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)

Vocaloid:

please answer my question

Vocaloid:

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

cookiemonster:

my moms helping me i just want to know if its right :)

Vocaloid:

again, please answer my question.

Vocaloid:

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

Vocaloid:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Vocaloid if I work z hours overtime, and my overtime wage is $25 per hour, what's my overtime pay? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

Vocaloid:

Vocaloid:
