Angelo is paid double time for each hour he works over 40 hours in a week. Last week he worked 46 hours and earned $624. What is his normal hourly rate?

Let h be Angelo's hourly rate. We have:
40h + (46 - 40) * 2 * h = 624
40h + 6 * 2 * h = 624
40h + 12h = 624

Combine like terms:
52h = 624

Typing this equation into our search engine, we get h = 12.
