Question

Suppose that Bob is paid two times his normal hourly rate for each hour worked in excess of 40 hours in a week. Last week

he earned $420 for 50 hours of work. What is his hourly wage?

Answer 1

The answer is 7

because 40 times 7 is 280 then we double 7 to 14 because remember it says he paid 2 times his hourly rate after 40 hours so then we multipy 14 times 10 and it will give you 140 so then u add them to get his total of $420
