Question

Steve is a camp counselor and earns $11.00 an hour with time and a half for overtime. Last week he worked 40 hours plus overtime. If his total pay was $506.00, how many overtime hours did he work?

Answer 1

11 bucks an hr for 40 hrs = 440......506 -

440 = 66 bucks in overtime pay 11 * 1.5 = 16.5 ...this is his overtime pay per hr

66/16.5 = 4 <== he worked 4 hrs overtime
