Mark worked 5 2/3, 9 1/3, 8 3/5, 9 2/5 and 9 hours during the week. if he earns $6.55 per hour, how much did he earn before deductions? (this may involve overtime.) a. $312.99 b. $281.65 c. $201.84 d. $288.12

ark worked 5 2/3 + 9 1/3 = 15 hours. 8 3/5 + 9 2/5 = 18 hours + 9 hours.

15 + 18 + 9 = 42 hours worked @ $6.55 per hour

40 hours regular pay and 2 hours overtime.

Over time is 1 1/2 X $6.55 = $9.83 per hour X 2 hours overtime worked = $19.65 in over time .

40 hours @ $6.55 = $262.00 + $19.65 = $281.65.Gross pay

Chris.

5 1/2 + 9 1/2 = 15 hours

8 4/5 + 5 1/5 = 14 hours

14 + 15 = 29 hours worked. @ $9.65 per hour = $279.85 Gross pay

Hope this helps!

y = mx + b

in this case 17 is m or slope. same thing.

m = 17

y = 17x + __

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = m = rise over run = change in y over change in x

these all mean the same thing.

therefore, your answer will be 17.
