Asked by Brita

A worker gets 22 dollars per hour for a normal work week of 40 hours and time-and-a-half for overtime. Assuming he works at least 40 hours a week, construct a function describing his weekly paycheck, Upper P, as a function of the number of hours worked, t.
My answer: 880+11(t-40)
22*40=880
It says my answer is wrong please help!

Your equation shows him just getting 1/2 time for extra hours. For time and a half, you need

P(t) = 880 + 22*1.5(t-40)
= 880 + 33(t-40)
