Answer 1

Answer:

Julio's hourly rate is $14.4 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

r ------> Julio's normal hourly rate

we know that

The linear equation that represent this scenario is

30r+(41-30)(1.1r)=606.24

30r+(11)(1.1r)=606.24

30r+12.1r=606.24

42.1r=606.24

Solve for r    

r=606.24/42.1

r=14.4

therefore

Julio's hourly rate is $14.4 per hour

Verify

606.24=30(14.4)+(41-30)(1.1)(14.4)

606.24=432+174.24

606.24=606.24 ------> is ok
