You have to know what it is before you solve the problem
"for each hour that she works over 40hrs in a week" key words "for each hour" in that section of the sentence. so we take 489.85 divide that by 9.7 = 50 and then we divide 489.85 by 5 so that we can get 1/5 of 50, then we take 9.7 times 1.5 = 14.55 and divide that by 97.97
489.85/5 = 97.97/14.55 = 6.73 + 40hrs = 46.73hrs
Not sure why it's a decimal.. but I'm 100% sure that's how you solve it
The answer is x=1/2 or x=-3/4
