Answer:
The hourly wage is $8.55 per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Determine the expression for the gross pay
Total gross pay=(Unit rate per hour×number of hours(≤40))+(Overtime rate×number of overtime hours)
where;
Total gross pay=$380.48
Unit rate per hour=x
Number of hours=40 hours
Overtime rate=x×(1 1/2)=1.5 x
Number of overtime hours=3 hours
Step 2: Replace to solve for hourly wage
380.48=(x×40)+(1.5 x)×3
40 x+4.5 x=380.48
44.5 x=380.48
x=380.48/44.5
x=8.55
The hourly wage is $8.55 per hour
I assume the question was true or false. Here is how you verify the identity— which is true :)
D is the correct answer.
We do not need math in this instance, just knowledge.
We know that the answer will point to 0, not infinity. There are constraints. Also note that 1.75*7=12.25, which means you can fit no more than 7 books in the bag.
