Answer:
$8.5 per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of overtime hours = 4 hours
Since overtime starts after 40 hours, then the number of hours worked = 40 + 4 = 44 hours
Total amount earned = $391
Let Hourly pay = x
Overtime pay = 1 1/2x = 3/2x
Therefore ;
40x + (4*3/2x) = 391
40x + 6x = 391
46x = 391
x = 391 / 46
x = 8.5
Hourly pay = $8.5 per hour
The first question, it is decreasing because the slope is negative.
