Larissa is considering two summer jobs. A job at the mall pays $400 per week plus $15 for every hour of overtime. A job at the m
ovie theater pays $360 per week plus $20 for every hour of overtime. How many hours of overtime would Larissa have to work in order for the job at the movie theater to pay a higher salary than the job at the mall?
Solve using system of equations! Let y=total amount of money and x=hours of overtime. mall: y=400+15x movies: y=360+20x Solve! Set the equations equal to each other to find x. 400+15x=360+20x 40=5x x=8 After 8 hours of overtime the movies would pay her more.
