Problema Solution
Alice, who is paid time-and-a-half for hours worked in excess of 40 hours, had gross weekly wages of $529 for 44 hours worked. What is her regular hourly rate?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'h' represent Alice's hourly rate
44-40 = 4 hours overtime
529 = 40*h + 4*(h + h/2)
solving for 'h' we have h=11.5
Alice's regular hourly rate is $11.50
