Answer : $18.75

Bethany is paid time-and-a-half for each hour she works above her normal 40 hours each week. Last week, Bethany worked 44 hours and her gross pay was $575.

Total hours worked = 44 hours

Normal 40 hours + 4 hours extra

Let x be the amount earned for 1 hour for regular 40 hours

1.5x be the amount earned for extra hours

40 (amount earned for normal hours ) + 4(amount for extra hours ) = gross pay

40x + 4(1.5x) = 575

40x + 6x = 575

46 x = 575

Now divide both sides by 46

x = 12.5

1.5x is the amount earned for extra hours

1.5 * 12.5 = 18.75

Bethany earn for each hour of overtime she worked is $18.75

Is y=x^2 a function?
Pie

Answer:

Yes, it is. Functions can only have one output (y) for each input (x). Furthermore, this means each x value will only have one y passing through it. Thus if we plot it on a graph and it passes through a horizontal line more than once, it is not a function. This is called the vertical line test.
