Question

I will pay you $10 per hour for the 1st 40 hours. After 40 hours, I will pay you 1.5 times regular pay for each hour. What is the regular pay equation?

Answer 1

The regular pay (A) equation can be expressed as;

A=10 h, for h≤40

Explanation:

The expression for the regular pay is as follows;

A=r×h, where h≤40

where;

A=Total regular pay

r=rate per hour for the first 40 hours

h=number of hours work which should be ≤40

In our case;

The total amount of regular pay=A

r=10 dollars per hour

h=number of hours which should be ≤40

replacing;

A=10 h, for h≤40

The regular pay (A) equation can be expressed as;

A=10 h, for h≤40
