Answer:

50 hours.

Explanation:

First I found how how much the man was paid in a week for the base 40 hours which was 384. Then i subtracted that from the wage from the week so i could just have the overpay amount which was 144. I then multiplied 9.6 by 1.5 to get the hourly pay for overtime and god 14.4 dollars an hour. Lastly, i divided 144 by 14.4 and got 10 extra hours which got me to my answer of 50 hours because i added the 40 initial hours.
