Assuming that all 5 months have 30 working days.
Let us assume that you need to do 'x' hours per month to get the extra money for vacation.
Given that overtime wage is $11.25 per hour, the wage (in $) for monthly overtime is obtained as,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Monthly Overtime Wage}=\text{ Monthly overtime hours}\times\text{ Wage per hour} \\ \text{Monthly Overtime Wage}=x\times11.25 \\ \text{Monthly Overtime Wage}=11.25x \end{gathered}[/tex]Then the total amount (TA) earned in 5 months of overtime work is calculated as,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Total Amount}=\text{ Amount per month}\times\text{ No. of months} \\ \text{Total Amount}=11.25x\times5 \\ \text{Total Amount}=56.25x \end{gathered}[/tex]Given that the 15% of this amount earned goes for the tax, so the net amount earned is given by,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Net Amount Earned}=(1-\frac{15}{100})\times56.25x \\ \text{Net Amount Earned}=(\frac{85}{100})\times56.25x \\ \text{Net Amount Earned}=47.8125x \end{gathered}[/tex]This net amount must be sufficient to cover the total cost of vacation $2245,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Net Amount Earned}=\text{ Expense on vacation} \\ 47.8125x=2245 \\ x=\frac{2245}{47.8125} \\ x=46.95 \\ x\approx47 \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, you have to work 47 hours of overtime monthly to cover the cost of the vacation in 5 months.
