Julio paid 1.3 times his normal hourly rate for each he works over 31 hours in a week. last week he worked 35 hours and earned $448.88. what is julios normal hourly rate ?

Hi, Globabypatricia! :)

All the time worked past 31 hours gets paid 1.3 times.
He worked 4 hours at such a rate.

31+4(1.3)
31+5.2
=36.2
Paid as if he worked 36.2 at a normal rate. 

To find his normal wage, divide 448.88 by 36.2
448.88/36.2
=12.40

His normal wage is $12.40.

To check:
12.40*31=384.40
12.40*1.3=16.12
16.12*4=64.48

384.40+64.48
=$448.88

Hope this helps.

Good question

Let his hourly rate is x

then:

31x + (35-31)*1.3x = 448.88

solve for x:

31 x + 5.2x = 448.88

36.2 x =448.88

x = 12.4$

not fair hourly rate by the way ;)

Hey dear, hoping i'll be
