# Systems of Equations Word Problem HELP PLEASE!!

Okay so... I did the first two systems of equations word problems pretty easily but this one has me stumped. I have no idea what to do... help?

Ramiro earns $20 per hour during the week and$30 per hour for overtime on the weekends. One week Ramiro earned a total of $650. He worked 5 times as many hours during the week as he did on the weekend. Write and solve a system of equations to determine how many hours of overtime Ramiro worked on the weeked. I'm guessing that one of them will end with =$650... and that's really all I know. It seems like just a bunch of totally unrelated words :(
