Lily earns 1.5 her normal hourly rate for overtime pay. Last week, Roxanna earned $72.00 in overtime pay for 4 hours. What is Roxanna's normal hourly pay?

Roxanna earns $18 per hour.
If Roxanna earns $72 in 4 hours, then the equation to find how much she earns per hour is:
72/4 = x
x = 18

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask questions.
