Question

A company pays $20 per hour for up to 7 hours of work, and $30 per hour for
overtime hours (hours beyond 7). If x is the total hours worked, and more
than 7 hours have been worked, what is the expression for just the overtime
hours worked?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

current total of hours work earnings (7hrs): $140

total earnings: $980 per week

49 hours work per week (no overtime)

immagine you're working another 4 hours for overtime payment everyday:
current total of hours work earnings (11hrs): $280 including 4 hours overtime ($120)

total working hours: 77 hours per week

total earnings: $1,960 per week
