An employee earns $7.00 an hour for the first 35 hours worked in a week and $10.50 for any hour over 35. one week's paycheck (before deduction) was for $308.00. how many hours did the employee work

the employee worked for 41 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total number of hours that the employee worked. An employee earns $7.00 an hour for the first 35 hours worked in a week and $10.50 for any hour over 35. Let y represent the amount earned for x hours. Therefore

y = 7×35 + 10.5(x - 35)

y = 245 + 10.5x - 367.5

One week's paycheck (before deduction) was for $308.00. This means that y = $308.00. Therefore,

308 =245 + 10.5x - 367.5

308 = 10.5x - 122.5

10.5x = 308 + 122.5 = 430.5

x = 430.5/10.5

x = 41

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
