Before taxes, Jim earned $564 one week after working 30 hours at his regular wage, 6 hours at time-and -a-half on Saturday, and 4 hours at Doulbe-time on Sunday. what is Jim's hourly wage?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent Jim's hourly wage, then '1.5x' represents time-and-a-half and '2x' represents double-time
564 = 30x + 6(1.5x) + 4(2x)
solving for 'x' we have x=12
Jim's regular hourly wage is $12
