Since Ken earns 11 dollars per hour on regular pay and receives time-and-a-half for overtime. The expression that can be used is 11h + 1.5h = total earnings. Since the given data is 40 hours and 66 dollars in overtime, and the question is how many time hours did he work if he made 66 dollars in overtime. The solution must be:

66/1.5 = 44

Ken worked 44 hours in overtime to earn 66 dollars.

Answer:4


Step-by-step explanation:time in a half means you take 11 and half it so (11/2=5.5) then add them together so (11+5.5=16.5) and then your going to do (66.00/16.5=4)
