## anonymous one year ago Drey makes $10 an hour plus$15 an hour for every hour of overtime. Overtime hours are any hours more than 40 hours for the week. Part A: Create an equation that shows the amount of wages earned, W, for working x hours in a week when there is no overtime. Part B: Create an equation that shows the amount of wages earned, S, for working y hours of overtime. Hint: Remember to include in the equation the amount earned from working 40 hours. Part C: Drey earned $490 in 1 week. How many hours (regular plus overtime) did he work? • This Question is Open 1. anonymous Okay so we can write$1o an hour as:$10h$ Follow so far?

We can construct an equation: Create an equation that shows the amount of wages earned, W, for working x hours in a week when there is no overtime. $W = 10x + 15o$ Where is $$x$$ is hours worked, and $$o$$ is overtime. Since not overtime exist we can drop that part off.$W = 10x$ is the equation for Part A. Understand how we did that?

yes i follow wages is the variable and 10 is per hour 15 is over time but we dont need it yet so w is now wages = 10x

* without overtime. Remember we are not accounting for overtime since the question says no overtime is worked.

Okay try to attempt: Part B: Create an equation that shows the amount of wages earned, S, for working y hours of overtime. Hint: Remember to include in the equation the amount earned from working 40 hours. And show me your attempt.

W= S$10 per hour and Y$15 per over time hour 10s+15y

9. anonymous

y = 40 remember you work that many hours overtime.

10. anonymous

okay got that now

11. anonymous

Great, good luck!

12. anonymous

wait what about part c ! lol

13. anonymous

Okay, well attempt it, and I will check if you are right or wrong.

14. anonymous

i got 70 hours 490/7

Overtime is any hours over hour 40. So $$40 \times 10 = 400$$. We still need to calculate the overtime which is \$15 per hour. $$15 \times 6 = 90$$ So $$40 + 6 = 46 hours$$.
