Alexa, who is paid time-and-a-half for hours worked in excess of 40 hours, had gross weekly wages of $598 for 48 hours worked. What is her regular hourly rate?

$11.50 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Regular hours: 40

Overtime hours: 8

40y + 8y(1.5) = 598

40y + 12y = 598

52y = 598

y = 598/52 = 11.50

Check: 40 x $11.50 = $460

8 x $17.25 = $138

$460 + $138 = $598

child does not get an education so she can use the molla on junk

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
