Question

for the first 40 hours that alex works during a week she gets paid 6.65 after that she is pid 1.5 times that rate for each hour she works one week she worked 54 hours how much did she earn that week

Answer 1

First of all, the pay rate seems too low, violating minimum wage law.

 

Anyway, formula for a person working at least 40 hours per week, the gross pay earned

is y = 40(6.65) + 1.5((x-40)(6.65).

 

Labor law might dictate that pay per day earns "time and a half" for each hour exceeding 8 hours. on a day-by-day basis.
