If the quantity u have decreased with time so the rate is negative and vise versa
N = regular rate
1.4n= overtime rate
30n + 5(1.4n) = $436.60 (30 hours x regular rate n) plus 5 hours at 1.4 times reg rate.
30n + 7n = $436.60 now add like terms
37n = $436.60 now divide both sides by 37
n= $11.80
Check to see if my answer is reasonable 30 x 12= 360 + 5 x 10 x 1.4 = about 70 (notice that I used 10 instead of 12 here so I could do it in my head)
360 + 70 = 430 - close enough - my answer is reasonable
Check:
(30 x $11.80) + 5 ( 1.4 x 11.80
354 + 5( 16.52)
354 + 82.60 = 436.60 ($436.60)
Answer:
She subtracted 7x instead of dividing it. Personally, i wouldn't have done that. I would subtract the 14 first, then divide.
Hey there!
I'm thinking B because it just makes the most sense reading it aloud. Quick tip though when there's a question like this just read the paragraph or sentences with all the possibilities in the blanks and you can kind of just tell which one it is by the way it sounds, you know?
Hope I helped, lemme know if I'm correct please! Have a spectacular day!
