<span>Julio
is paid 1.4 times his normal hourly rate for every excess hour he works in a
week.
last week he worked 35 hours and got 436.60 dollars.
We need to find an equation so we can be able to solve Julio’s earnings:
=> Let X be the value of Julio’s rate
=> 30 * X + 5 x 1.4x = 436.6
=> 30x + 7x = 436.6
=> 37x = 436.6
=> 37x / 37 = 436.6 / 37
=> x = 11.8
Thus the original rate of Julio is 11.8 dollars
=> 1.4 x 11.8 = 16.52 dollars, the rate of Julio with added rate
=> 30 x 11.8 + 5 x 16.52
=> 354 + 82.6
=> 436.6

As long as the number plugged in Times 15 is less than 180, it works
Here are your three values: 1,2,3
If 360 is 2/3 of the full price on a saw then your equation should look like this:
x is your unknown full price of the saw. Just solve for x now.
This means that the full price is $540.
Hope this helps!
Hi Dwfailla,
To get the answer we need to add $480 and $150. So, $480 + $150 would be your equation.
Hope This Helps!
