Question

A webmaster makes $24 an hour for the first 38 hours she works during a week and $31 an hour for each hour worked over$38 hours.Which piecewise equation models her total weekly pay Y in dollars as it relates to the number of hours X that she has worked during the week?

Answer 1

x
`\leq` 38 -> 24x
x > 38 -> 31(x-38) + 912

912 = 24*38 (You will have to have 38 hours to be able to be in this part of the piece wise function)
