Question

HELLLPP!!!! Jake's regular hourly wage is $14.15 after working 40 hours in a week he gets paid overtime which is a pay and a half if Jake worked for 58 hours what will his weekly gross income be

Answer 1

I think you need to figure out how much he makes an hour first then its very easy from there.

Answer 2

ANSWER- For 58 hours Jake makes $820.70 for his income.

So how you would solve this word problem you would have to first see what your starting with, in the begging it mentioned that he gets paid [$14.15 and hour] and he worked for 40 hours, (multiple it) you get $566.0)

Then it says to see answer how much Jake makes in 58 hours, (now remember it mentioned how much he makes in an hour) so you just had to multiply 14.15 x 58= 820.70
