At the local sandwich shop, employees earn double time for any hours worked in addition to their regular 40-hour week. last week, cooper jones worked his regular 40 hours plus 9 hours overtime. cooper is paid $8.50 per hour. what is his total pay for the week? (steps included how to solve problem along with answer )

His total pay for the week is $493.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the local sandwich shop, employees earn double time for any hours worked in addition to their regular 40-hour week.

Cooper Jones worked  = 40 hours + 9 hours overtime

Cooper is paid for 40 hour = $8.50 × 40

                                             = $340

Cooper paid double for over time = 8.50 × 2 = $17.00

He worked over time 9 hours, so he got = 17 × 9 = $153

Total earning = $340 + $153 = $493

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:

-4
