Because you dont want to deal with all the overtime money and hours, you need to subtract her total amount ($422.75) from her overtime money ($42.75). $422.75-$42.75=$380
So that means that her job paid her $380 total for the 40 hours. (NOT including her overtime, because we subtracted it.
Because you want to know how much she makes per hour, you need to divide her total amount of money ($380, which is NOT including the overtime amount) by her hours ($40)
Ok so this person was paid $422.75 this week for working one week. $42.75 though, was added onto her normal paycheck because she worked overtime. So we subtract the $42.75 from the $422.75 to get $380. So if she made that normal money by working for 40 hours we need to find how much money she makes in one hour. SO we just do 380/40 to get $9.50 per hour
Hope that helped.... If i explained it weird and you still don't get it PM me and i can try to reexplain :)
