A person works 46 hours in one week and earns 440 dollars. They get time and a half for over 40 hours. What is their hourly salary?
Let the hourly rate be r. Since time and a half is 1.5 the hourly rate, We're given:
40r + 6(1.5r) = 440
40r + 9r = 440
to solve this equation for r, we type it in our search engine and we get:
r = $8.98
