Question

Lily earns 1.5 her normal earns hourly rate for overtime pay Last week, Roxanna earned $72.00 in overtime pay for 4 hours. What is Roxana's normal hourly pay?

Answer 1

`$12`

Explanation:

Suppose, if her normal hourly pay is `$x`, then overtime pay would be `$(3x)/2`.

Overtime pay for 4 hours would thus be `$(3x)/2 *4= $6x`

Now, this #6x = 72-

Hence `x= $12`
