Question

Carlos earns $8 per hour for the first 40 hours that he works during a week. He earns $12 an hour for every hour he works over 40 hours. How much does he earn if he works 50 hours in one week?

Answer 1

Hi there!

Your answer is:

$440 earned from working a 50 hour week

Explanation:

8× 40= $320

Subtract 40 from 50 to determine how many overtime hours he worked!

12× 10 = $120

320+ 120= $440

I hope this helps!
