Question

Quiz: Eliminating Wrong
Answers

A lifeguard earns $10.80 an hour for a 40-hour week
and 13 times his base pay for every hour worked over
the first 40 hours. If he works a 46-hour week, how
much is the lifeguard's pay for the week?

Answer 1

Answer:

$504

Step-by-step explanation:

lets take the EXTRA number of hours he works as "x"

so on a typical 40 hour week: 10.8(40)

but for every hour worked on top of the 40 hours: 13x+(10.8(40))

so

13(6)+(432)

72+432=504
