Question

Michael earns $21 per hour and works 40 hours per week. How many overtime hours would he have to work in a week for his time-and-a-half overtime pay to be greater than his regular gross pay?

Answer 1

81 hours

Explanation:

He gets 10.5 dollars an hour over time and when he's working regular he earns 840 dollars so 840 divided by 10.5 is 80 so add an extra hour and he then makes more.
