Problema Solution
Angelo is paid double time for each hour he works over 40 hours in a week. Last week he worked 44 hours and earned $624. What is his normal hourly rate?
Answer provided by our tutors
44-40 = 4, so 4 hours were double-time
let 'x' represent the hourly rate, then:
624 = 40x + 4(2x)
solving for 'x' we have x=13
his normal hourly rate is $13
