how many hours did she work math problem

Question

please include your work

 

 JoAnn works in a publicity office at the state university. She is paid $11.00
an hour for the first 35hours she works each week and $16.50
an hour for every hour after that. If she makes $467.50
one week, how many hours did she work?

Answer 1

Let x = the number of hours worked over 35 hours

 

35 hours at $11.00/hour = $385.00

 

  467.50

- 385.00

   82.50

 

82.50/16.50 = 5 = x

 

She worked 40 hours
