Chucks overtime wage is 3 dollars per hour more than his regular hourly wage. He worked for 5 hours at his regular wage and 4 hours at the overtime wage. He earned 66 dollars. Find his regular wage. Please help me with this equation.
Let his regular hourly rate be w dollars/hour
then his overtime rate will be w+3 dollars per hour
5w + 4(w+3)=66
5w+4w+12=66
9w+12=66
9w=54
w=6
Regular wage is $6 per hour
