If a person makes $12.00 per hour, and twice that much if they work more than 35 hours in a week, how much would that person make if they worked 42 hours in a week?
42 hours = 35 hours + 7 hours
So, the person will make...
$12.00 per hour for 35 hours + $24.00 per hour for 7 hours
= ($12.00) * (35) + ($24.00) * (7)
= $420.00 + $168.00
= $588.00
$588 =$12 x 35 + 7 x $24 =$588
