Leigh is paid time-and-a-half hours worked in excess of 40 hours and double-time for hours worked on sunday. if leigh had gross weekly wages of $342 for working 50 hours, 4 of which were on sundays, what is her regular hourly rate?

the regular payment is 6$ an hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we determine how many hours were due to excess of the standars 40 hours, that was 50-40-4=6 hours. We can set then a simple equation where we will call x the regular hourly rate. Excess hours are paid 1.5x, sunday hours are paid 2x:

40x+4(2x)+6(1.5x)=342

40x+8x+9x=342

57x=342

x=342/57

x=6

$2,703.06

step-by-step explanation:

add: $2,687.44+ $2,613.09+$2,808.64= $8,109.17

divide by 3 because you added 3 numbers.

$8,109.17/3=

answer: $2,703.06

location: point 0

step-by-step explanation:

well, -8 to 10 on a number line is 18 spaces.

1/9 of 18 is 2.

so, 4/9 of 18 must be 8.

8 spaces from -8 (a) is 0.

so, 4/9 of the way from -8 to 10 is 0!
