A Question
Example
Step by Step
Julio is paid 1.2 times his normal hourly rate for each hour he works over 28 hours in a week. Last week he
worked 36 hours and earned $477.52.
Enter and solve an equation to find Julio's normal hourly rate, r. Complete the explanation how you know
that your answer is reasonable.
The earnings equation is $477.52 =
Julio's hourly rate is $
per hour.
This is reasonable because working 36 hours at a rate of $13 per hour is
36. 13 = 36(10+ 3) = 360 + 108 = and $ is close to $477.52.
