40 r + 12 (1.5 r) = 638
(why did you subtract, she earns more for those 12 hours)
58 r = 638
r = 11
Jill gets 1.5 her hourly rate after she works 40 hours. She worked 52 hours and earned 638. What is her hourly rate?
I ALWAYS get a repeating decimal! I need help!
40x- 12(1.5x)= 638
26.66...-12x= 638
Now what do I do? It's a repeating decimal!
