Question

Robert graduates from a technical school and finds a welding job that pays

$14 per hour. He always works at least 40 hours in a given week. When he works

overtime, he gets 1.5 times his regular hourly pay. His overtime pay can be

represented by h, the number of hours greater than 40 he works in a week.

Create an expression for the amount of money Robert earns in a week.

Use the values from the box below. Write the value(s) needed for each addend

in each space on the answer sheet.

Answer 1

Answer: $581

Step-by-step explanation:

given data:

Hours worked weekly(hrs) = 40

wages = $14/hr

Amount earned for overtime = 1.5 times of his hourly pay.

Solution

Amount earned for overtime

= 1.5 * $14

= $21

Amount Roberts earns in a week

= $14 * 40 + $21

= $560 + $21

= $581

Answer 2

Answer:

Weekly earning = 560 + 21h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Regular Pay = $14 per hour

Work hour = atleast 40 hours per week

Overtime pay = 1.5(regular pay)

If overtime hour = h

Robert's weekly earning :

Regular pay * 40 + (overtime * 1.5(regular pay))

$14 * 40 + (h * 1.5(14))

560 + 21h

Hence,

Weekly earning = 560 + 21h
