You need to earn $539 per week to afford the new car you want to purchase. Your work week is 46 hours. You get 1.5 times the regular hourly rate for overtime (anything over 40 hours). How much does your hourly rate need to be? (use step 1-4).

Answer 1

Stick it into a formula where x equals your hourly wages

(x*40)+((x*1.5)*6) = 539
now solve for x
