Question

If I owe you $1.76 in overtime pay, you receive $19.50 for each hour of OT. How many hours overtime are you owed?

Answer 1

Answer: 0.09 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

You are owed $1.76 in overtime pay.

The hourly rate for overtime is $19.50 per hour.

To find the number of hours owed, you need to divide the amount owed by the amount owed per hour.

The number of hours you are owed is therefore:

= Amount owed / Amount owed per hour

= 1.76 / 19.50

= 0.09 hours
