Evan earns $12 an hour plus $15 an hour for every hour of overtime. Overtime hours are any hours more than 30 hours for the week.

Part A: Create an equation that shows the amount of money earned, M, for working x hours in a week when there is no overtime.

Part B: Create an equation that shows the amount of wages earned, T, for working y hours of overtime. Hint: Remember to include in the equation the amount earned from working 30 hours.

Part C: Evan earned $510 in 1 week. How many hours (regular plus overtime) did he work? Show your work.

Answer 1

PART A)m=12x
PART B) T=12x+15y
PART C) 12x+15y=510
12(0)+15y=510
12x+15(0)=510
y<or= 34
X<or=34
as long as both above are true, you'll get the right number
