Leigh is paid time-and-a-half hours worked in excess of 40 hours and double-time for hours worked on Sunday. If Leigh had gross weekly wages of $342 for working 50 hours, 4 of which were on Sundays, what is her regular hourly rate?

Respuesta :

Answer:

the regular payment is 6$ an hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we determine how many hours were due to excess of the standars 40 hours, that was 50-40-4=6 hours. We can set then a simple equation where we will call x the regular hourly rate. Excess hours are paid 1.5x, sunday hours are paid 2x:

40x+4(2x)+6(1.5x)=342

40x+8x+9x=342

57x=342

x=342/57

x=6
