Question

Drey makes $10 an hour plus $15 an hour for every hour of overtime. Overtime hours are any hours more than 40 hours for the week.

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

Answer 1

no overtime so we can ignore the 15 dollars per hour
pay=pay per hour time time worked

W=10x when 0≤x≤40
because 40 is when overtime starts
