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)

I saw you typing on this question, and instantly knew I was getting tagged
hehehehehe
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?
ummm M=12x?
good
for part b, do the same thing except using the overtime salary and the number of overtime hours
hmm that ones a little harder please help
same concept number of hours * overtime hourly wage
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
did you copy-paste that from somewhere?
No, my mom was helping me in a google doc and i just pasted it here to see if it was right
do you understand what she wrote though? that's the important part
yes she explained :)
part c is where im a little hard
so if my overtime hourly wage is 25$ per hour and I work z hours, how would I find my overtime pay?
*z hours overtime
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)
please answer my question
if I work z hours overtime, and my overtime wage is $25 per hour, what's my overtime pay?
my moms helping me i just want to know if its right :)
again, please answer my question.
I am testing to see if you really understand it, or if you are just copy-pasting someone else's work
