Answer:
The hourly wage is $8.55 per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Determine the expression for the gross pay
Total gross pay=(Unit rate per hour×number of hours(≤40))+(Overtime rate×number of overtime hours)
where;
Total gross pay=$380.48
Unit rate per hour=x
Number of hours=40 hours
Overtime rate=x×(1 1/2)=1.5 x
Number of overtime hours=3 hours
Step 2: Replace to solve for hourly wage
380.48=(x×40)+(1.5 x)×3
40 x+4.5 x=380.48
44.5 x=380.48
x=380.48/44.5
x=8.55
The hourly wage is $8.55 per hour

Hey Kayla!
Let me help you out real quick.
x - 2y = 5
-3x + 2y = 7
We need to solve x - 2y =5 for x
x - 2y = 5
x = 5 + 2y
Now substitute 2y + 5 for x in -3x + 2y = 7
-3x + 2y = 7
-3(2y + 5) + 2y = 7
-6y - 15 + 2y = 7
-4y - 15 = 7
-4y = 7 + 15
-4y = 22
y = 22/-4
y = -11/2
Now we need to substitute -11/2 for y in x= 2y + 5
x = 2y + 5
x = 2(-11/2) + 5
x = -22/2 + 5
x = -6
Thus,
The answer is x = -6 and y = -11/2
The correct answer is option D
Good luck with your studies :)
