How many items Bob produces

by Chaitanya_1986 » Wed May 04, 2011 7:35 am
If Bob produces 36 or fewer items in a week, he is paid x dollars per item. If Bob produces
more than 36 items in a week, he is paid x dollars per item for the first 36 items and 11/2 times
that amount for each additional item. How many items did Bob produce last week?

(1) Last week Bob was paid a total of $480 for the items that he produced that week.
(2) This week Bob produced 2 items more than last week and was paid a total of $510 for the
items he produced this week.
