Question

You make $12 an hour, plus time and a half for each hour over 40 hours that you work in a week. How many hours do yo need to work to earn $606?

Answer 1

47 hours

Explanation:

First, we do 12 times 40, the answer we get is 480 dollars.

Then, we do 606 minus 480, the answer we get is 126.

Next, we do 126 divided by 18, and we get 7

Therefore, the total hours is 47 hours.

Answer 2

47 hours

Explanation:

[606 -(12×40)]/(1½×12) =

(606-480)/(18) =

126/18 = 7

the total working hours = 40+7 = 47 hours
