Question

Julio is paid 1.4 times his normal hourly rate for each hour he works over 30 hours in a week. Last week he worked 40 hours and earned $462.00. Write and solve an equation to find Julio's normal hourly rate, r. Explain how you know that your answer is reasonable . Help me

Answer 1

Answer:

$10.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let his hourly rate be represented by h

From the question,

30h + 1.4 (40 - 30)h = $462.00

30h + 1.4(10)h = $462.00

30h + 14h = $462.00

44h = $462.00

h = $462.00/44

h = $10.50

Therefore, Julio's hourly rate is $10.50
