Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the following:

Total amount Randy earned: $667

Pay for first 40 hours: $14.50 per hour

Pay after 40 hours: $21.75 per hour

We need to find the total extra hours: x

If the total number of hours worked are, T, then: x + 40 = T

Total pay received for the first 40 hours: 40 \times 14.50 = 580

If out of $667, Randy earns $580 from the first 40 hours, the left over are earned by extra hours.

$667 - $580 = $87 ------- (a)

Total pay received for working after 40 hours: 21.75x

We know from eq (a)  that total pay is 87, hence we can find the number of hours using this.

21.75x = 87\\\\x = \frac{87}{21.75}\\\\x = 4

Randy worked 4 extra hours.
