Problem Solving Help.

by ramonsa » Thu Jun 04, 2009 12:19 pm
The regular hourly wage for an employee of a certain factory is $5.60. If the employee worked 8 hours overtime and earned 3/2 times this regular hourly wage for overtime, how much overtime money was earned?
Thanks

Is the answer 67.2?
The way I did it was that I first multiplied 5.6 by 3/2 which = 8.4
8.4$/hr * 8 = $67.2
