snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

He should work $6\frac{2}{3}$ hours in overtime.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the number of hours of regular time and y represents the number of hours of overtime,

Since, earnings are $24 per hour for regular time and $36 per hour for overtime,

Thus, total earning = (24x + 36y) dollars,

Here, x = 40 hours and total earning = $ 1200,

By substituting the values,

1200 = 24(40) + 36y

1200 = 960 + 36y

240 = 36y

⇒ $y = 6\frac{2}{3}\text{ hours}$

Hence, he should work $6\frac{2}{3}$ hours in overtime.
