Question

Michelle's regular hourly wage at the candy factory is

$9.86 for a 35-hour work week. She is paid double time
for working on a holiday. Last week she worked 10 hours
overtime on a holiday. How much more did she earn last
week than she earns in a 35-hour work week?

Answer 1

Michele earns $98.60 extra over the holiday.

Explanation:

$9.86•35=$345.10

$9.86•45=$443.70

(I got 45 by adding 10 to 35.)

443.70-345.10=$98.60
