Question

Mrs. Fisher worked her 40 regular hours last week, plus 4 overtime hours at the double-time rate. Her gross pay was $576. What was her hourly rate?​

Answer 1

Answer:  $12.

Step-by-step explanation:

4 overtime hours at the double-time rate =

4*2=8 regular hours.

Hence,

Mrs. Fisher worked her 48 regular hours  last week.

Her gross pay was $576.

So,

$576:48=

$12.
