Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Rosalyn's hourly wage and we know that she earns this much up to 40 hrs per week. Beyond 40 hrs, her hourly wage increases to 2.5× the original rate so since she worked 8hrs past 40 hrs, we can write her total salary for the week as

$40x + 8(2.5x) = \ 1470$

Solving for x, we find that

$40x + 20x = \ 1470 \Rightarrow 60x = \ 1470$

or

$x = \ 24.50/\text{hr}$
